Abstract

The reaction of α-or β-methylstyrene with phenylpalladium chloride in aqueous acetone were studied. From cis-or trans-β-methylstyrene, a mixture of erythro and threo isomers of hydroxyphenylation products PhMeCHCHOHPh (VIa, VIb) and chlorophenylation products PhMeCHCHClPh (IVa, IVb) were obtained accompanying the phenylated olefins (I, II, and III). The main reaction product was the tertiary alcohol PhCH 2 C (OH) MePh (V). The ...
