A Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with cyclic and acyclic epoxides has been developed. Both β-monosubstituted and β-disubstituted unsaturated carboxylic acids, as well as conjugated diene unsaturated carboxylic acids are suitable reaction substrates. Substituted homoallylic alcohols were obtained in moderate to good yields.

- - Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are used to combine vinyl epoxide with arylboronates to create aryl-substituted homoallylic alcohols.
- - This method shows different selectivity compared to past reactions using aryl nucleophiles for vinyl epoxide ring-opening.
- - The process occurs under mild conditions, resulting in high selectivity and good to excellent yields of the desired products.
