Abstract

In a typical reaction, 2 mmol aryl iodide, 3 mmol olefin, 3 mmol potassium carbonate, 3 mmol potassium chloride and 0.07 mmol palladium on carbon in 3 ml DMF were combined in a resealable pressure tube under argon and heated at 100°C until TLC indicated the consumption of aryl iodide. The reaction mixture was filtered through a short plug of silica gel with ethyl acetate, washed successively with water (4×) and brine, and dried (MgSO 4 ). The product was purified by ...
