S. Cacchi et al., PALLADIUM-CATALYZED VINYLIC SUBSTITUTION OF DIMETHYL ESTERS OF N-ALKOXYCARBONYLKAINIC ACIDS WITH ARYL HALIDES, Synlett, (1), 1997, pp. 54
The palladium-catalysed reaction of dimethyl esters of N-alkoxycarbony
lkainic acids with aryl halides in the presence of catalytic amounts o
f Pd(OAc)(2) and of the n-Bu(4)NCl/NaHCO3 combination affords stereose
lectively the corresponding E vinylic substitution products in satisfa
ctory yield.
