Abstract

Tertiary bicyclic phosphines derived from (R)-(+)-limonene provided efficient palladium catalysts for Heck cross-coupling reactions. Overall, high yields of the desired aryl alkenes products were obtained for cross-coupling of sterically and electronically diverse substrates. The efficiency of the catalysts was further demonstrated in the synthesis of commercial ketones, such as raspberry ketone and its derivatives.
