Abstract

Abstract Functionalized alkyl 2-benzylacrylates and 2-benzylacrylonitriles were synthesized by means of atom-economic cross-couplings of Baylis–Hillman bromides or acetates with BiAr 3 under palladium-catalyzed conditions. These reactions, involving threefold aryl couplings using BiAr 3 reagents with bromides and acetates, are fast and are completed in 1– 2 h with high product yields.
