Abstract

Abstract An efficient chemoselective hydrogenation protocol for substituted cinnamic esters is developed for the synthesis in quantitative yield of corresponding bioactive dihydrocinnamic esters with solid-supported palladium chloride/ammonium formate (cat.) in HCOOH/H 2 O 1: 2 as a hydrogenating agent under focused-microwave irradiation for 10 min.
