One single catalyst, Pd(OAc)2, for two sequential very different steps: allylic alcohol oxidation–Heck reaction. Access to functionalised α,β-unsaturated ketones
A series of functionalized ionicliquids (FILs) incorporated with chiral-pyrrolidine unit have been synthesized and tested as reusable organocatalysts for direct aldolreactions. FIL 1b in combination with acetic acid and water as additives could effectively catalyze direct aldolreactions of various ketone donors in high yields and the FIL catalyst was easily recycled and reused for six times with
