Reaction Conditions

Temperature130 °C

Reaction Steps

0.2 palladium acetate and 0.48 g triphenyl-phosphine were dissolved in 40 ml dimethylacetamide. Sodium bicarbonate (10 g), 4-bromoacetophenone (19.9g), methallyl alcohol (10.8 g), and diisopropylethylamine (1.0 g) were added and the mixture was heated to 130° C with stirring. After 2 hours, a 100% conversion of 4-bromoacetophenone to 3-Cp-acetylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal was obtained.
