Abstract
The reaction of 2-alkynylbenzaldehydes with aryl iodides in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 and K2CO3 in refluxing methanol for 24 hours gave the dehydrogenation-addition products, methyl 2-(2,2-disubstituted-vinyl)benzoates in modest yields; together with the cyclization products, 3-methoxy-1-monosubstituted-methylene-3-hydroisobenzofurans in 3-18% yields.
Key words
palladium - coupling - esterification-hydroarylation - 2-alkynylbenzaldehydes
