Abstract

cis, cis, cis-1, 2, 3, 4-Tetrakis (diphenylphosphinomethyl) cyclopentane/[PdCl (C3H5)] 2 efficiently catalyses the Heck reaction of disubstituted alkenes such as methyl crotonate, ethyl cinnamate, methyl methacrylate or α-methylstyrene with a variety of aryl halides. In the presence of 1, 2-disubstituted alkenes the stereoselectivities of the reactions strongly depend on the substituents of the alkenes. Selectivities up to 97% in favor of E-isomers ...
