TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-coupling reaction is proposed for coupling 1 -Alkenylboron Derivatives: Synthesis of Conjugated Dienes 6.

TL;DR: In this article, the representative (E)-1-alkenyldisiamylboranes and 1-alkenyl-1,3,2-benzodioxaboroles readily obtainable via hydroboration of 1 -alkynes react with (1) halides or (1)-alkynyl halides in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium and base to give corresponding conjugated (E-dienes or (E-)enynes with high regio-and

TL;DR: The transition metal-catalyzed reactions of organometallics with organic halides have been extensively studied to prove a new approach to selective formation of carbon-carbon bonds as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The reaction of aryl halides with alk-l-enylboranes, readily obtainable via monohydroboration of acetylenes, provides a conveninet new method for stereoselective synthesis of E-alkenes in high yields; these reactions are effectively catalysed by tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium and bases such as sodium ethoxide as discussed by the authors.
