Reaction Steps

The procedure described in Example 26 is repeated, but using 4.28 g (25 mmols) of 4-bromotoluene and 2.99 ml (27.5 mmols) of ethyl acrylate. After a reaction time of 23 hours at 130° C., 0.67 g (3.5 mmols) of ethyl 4-methylcinnamate is obtained, corresponding to a yield of 14% of theory (conversion figure 1400; Pd content 0.01 mol %).
