M. Beller et Th. Riermeier, FIRST EFFICIENT PALLADIUM-CATALYZED HECK REACTIONS OF ARYL BROMIDES WITH ALKYL METHACRYLATE, Tetrahedron letters, 37(36), 1996, pp. 6535-6538
An efficient palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of aryl bromides wi
th butyl methacrylate has been developed. Depending on the reaction co
nditions various amounts of butyl 3-aryl-2-methylpropenoate and butyl
3-aryl-2-methyliden-propenoate as well as double arylated products wer
e produced. Superior turn over numbers up to 8300 and turn over freque
ncies up to 1000 h(-1) for Heck reactions of aryl bromides with methac
rylic acid ester have been obtained for the first rime. Copyright (C)
