An effective approach to aryl-substituted propanoic acids via the Pd-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of stilbenes†
Abstract
An effective Pd(0)-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of substituted stilbenes with formic acid and HCOOPh is described. A variety of aryl-substituted propanoic acids are obtained in good yields without using external toxic CO gas.
