The highly stereoselective preparation of sterically hindered (E) and (Z)-3
,3-diaryl acrylic acid esters using a parallel synthesis approach is descri
bed. The liquid phase reaction utilises polyethylene glycol monomethyl ethe
r 5000 (mPEG 5000) as a soluble polymeric support and phase-transfer agent.
