Allyltributylstannane → Benzene, 4-nitro-1-(2-propen-1-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-bromo-4-nitro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (1.0 g, 3.7 mmol), Allyl Tri-n-butyltin (1.4 mL, 4.4 mmol), Lithium Chloride (470 mg, 11 mmol), and Palladium Tetrakis (210 mg, 0.18 mmol) in toluene (30 mL) was heated to reflux for 16 hours under nitrogen. TLC showed complete reaction at that point. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate, adsorbed onto silica gel, and purified by silica gel chromatography to afford the title product.
