Abstract

A variety of aryltin compounds and sodium tetraarylborates can be employed for Michael- type hydroarylation reactions of nitroalkenes to afford β-arylnitroalkanes in moderate to good yields in the presence of either LiCl, MgCl 2, or CaCl 2 and a catalytic amount of palladium (II) salt (0.05 molar amount) in acetic acid. Results show that 50–70% of aryl groups out of all in these aryl compounds can be transferred to the products in this hydroarylation. The ...
