Reaction Steps

1.44 ml (12.5 mmols) of benzoyl chloride, 1.88 ml (12.5 mmols) of N-benzyldimethylamine and 0.0281 g (0.125 mmol) of palladium acetate are added to 25 ml of toluene in a pressure apparatus constructed of glass. The apparatus is flushed with ethylene in order to remove the air. Ethylene is then injected at 10 bar and the mixture is stirred for 4 hours at 120° C. 55% of styrene and 9% of trans-stilbene are formed.
