Synthesis of trans-4,4′-diiodostilbene and other symmetrical trans-stilbenes by Heck reaction of arenediazonium salts with vinyltriethoxysilane
Abstract
With anilines as the starting materials, a facile new synthesis of symmetrical trans-stilbenes, in particular of trans-4,4′-diiodostilbene, by (double) Heck reaction of arenediazonium salts with vinyltriethoxysilane is described.
