Procedure

In a flask, 15 mmol of benzene, 2 mmol of ethyl acrylate, 0.1 mmol of palladium(II) acetate, 0.4 mmol of hydroquinone, 0.02 mmol of H7PMo8V4O40, and 5 ml of acetic acid were placed and were stirred at a constant temperature of 90° C. in an atmosphere of oxygen gas at 1 atm (0.1 MPa) for 15 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography to find that ethyl cinnamate, ethyl 3,3-diphenylacrylate, and ethyl 3-acetoxyacrylate were produced in yields of 26%, 2%, and 9%, respectively.
