2,6-Di-tert-butylphenol → 2-Vinyl-6-methoxynaphthalene

Participants

Reaction Steps

23.7 g of 2-bromo-6-methoxynaphthalene (100 mmol) are dissolved in 150 ml of N,N-dimethylacetamide. 1 mg of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, 10 g of NaOAc (1.2 eq) and 50 mg of palladacycle are added. The solution is transferred to a V4A stirred autoclave and is stirred at 140° C. under an ethylene pressure of 20 bar until conversion is complete. Time: from 10 to 16 hours
