Reaction Steps

The procedure described in Example 26 is repeated, but using 4.79 g (25 mmols) of 4-bromochlorobenzene and 2.99 ml (27.5 mmols) of ethyl acrylate. After a reaction time of 8 hours at 130° C., 3.79 g (18.0 mmols) of ethyl 4-chlorocinnamate are obtained, corresponding to a yield of 72% of theory (conversion figure 7200; Pd content 0.01 mol %).
