Pd–Cu–Exchanged montmorillonite K10 clay: an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for vinylation of aryl halides
Abstract
Palladium and copper exchanged montmorillonite K10 clay has been found to catalyse very efficiently the reaction between aryl halides (X = Br, I) and acrylates, and styrenes affording alkyl (E)-cinnamates and (E)-stilbenes respectively in high yields.
