Application

  • Palladium-Catalyzed Pentenylation of Indoles: A study demonstrated the use of 2-Methyl-2-butene in palladium-catalyzed intermolecular dehydrogenative pentenylation of indoles, offering a novel pathway in synthetic chemistry for creating complex molecules (Zhang et al., 2024).
  • Asynchronous Concerted Mechanism: Research explored an asynchronous concerted mechanism in Lewis acid-mediated carbonyl-olefin [2+2] cycloaddition involving 2-Methyl-2-butene, providing insights into reaction dynamics and stereochemical outcomes in organic synthesis (Li et al., 2023).
