Abstract
The palladium-catalyzed arylation reaction of vinyl epoxides with organobismuth compounds afforded the aryl-substituted (E)-allylic alcohols via ring opening of epoxides. Alternatively, the palladium-catalyzed reaction of diol acetonides and carbonates with bismuth derivatives afforded the aryl-substituted diol acetonides and carbonates without ring opening.
