A novel preparative method for homo- and heteroannular conjugated dienes in decalin derivatives by the palladium-catalyzed regioselective elimination reaction of allylic carbonates under mild conditions
Homoannular conjugated dienes in decalin systems can be prepared by the palladium-catalyzed elimination reaction of α-allylic carbonates and heteroannular dienes are obtained from β-allylic carbonates.
