LIC-KOR promoted formation of conjugated dienes as useful building blocks for palladium-catalyzed syntheses

The results are grouped in two sections: (1) the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkoxydienyl-boronates with tetralone- or isochromanone-derived vinyl triflates; (2) the regio- and stereoselective Heck cross-coupling of alkoxydienes with aryl derivatives.
