Abstract

The tetraphosphine all-cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane in combination with [Pd(C3H5)Cl]2 affords an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of cinnamaldehyde derivatives by reaction of aryl bromides with 3,3-diacetoxypropene. The reaction gave directly the cinnamaldehyde derivatives very selectively. The coupling reaction of heteroaryl bromides or sterically congested aryl bromides such as 2,4,6-trimethylbromobenzene also proceeds.

  37. As a typical experiment, the reaction of aryl halide (1 mmol), 3,3-diacetoxypropene (0.516 g, 3 mmol), K2CO3 (0.414 g, 3 mmol) at 130 °C during 20 h in dry DMF (3 mL) in the presence of cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane/1/2 [PdCl(C3H5)]2 complex under argon affords the corresponding cinnamaldehyde derivative after addition of water, extraction with ether or dichloromethane, separation, drying (MgSO4), evaporation and purification by chromatography on silica gel.
