Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is an efficient and attractive strategy to access arylated α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds through the construction of carbon–carbon bonds. This reaction has several challenges, especially in terms of the control of regioselectivity between α- and γ-arylation and the selectivity for monoarylation and multiple arylation. Herein, we discuss the recent development of γ-arylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and present the ligand-controlled, site-selective α- and γ-arylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl ketones with (hetero)aryl halides. The site selectivity of the reaction is switchable by simply changing the phosphine ligand.
