Quadruple C-H activation coupled to hydrofunctionalization and C-H silylation/borylation enabled by weakly coordinated palladium catalyst

Abstract

Combining the Heck reaction with other transformations provides a powerful strategy to access diverse, complex compounds. Here, the authors report a weak coordination dominated Pd(0)-catalyzed quadruple C-H activation followed by hydro-functionalization, C-H silylation, and C-H borylation.
