Aromatic-Amide-Derived Olefins as a Springboard: Isomerization-Initiated Palladium-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Olefins and Reductive Decarbonylation of Acyl Chlorides with Hydrosilane
protocol for the isomerization of substituted amide‐derived olefins is presented that successfully uses a hydride palladium catalyst system generated from [PdCl2(PPh3)2] and HSi(OEt)3. The Z to E isomerization was carried out smoothly and resulted in geometrically pure substituted olefins. Apart from the cis–trans isomerization of double bonds, the selective reduction of terminal olefins and activated
