Clean and high-yielding cross-coupling of alkynylzincs with allylic chlorides, bromides,
or acetates exhibiting 98% regio- and stereoselectivity can be achieved by using 1
mol% of Pd(DPEphos)Cl2 and either 1:1 THF-DMF or pure DMF. This reaction provides a satisfactory route to
1,4-enynes via Pd-catalyzed alkynyl-allyl coupling.
