Abstract

The Heck–Matsuda arylation of 2-aza and 2-oxo-substituted acrylates is described. Several reaction conditions were evaluated including the influence of solvents, temperature, catalysts, and stoichiometry. While the oxygenated system was successfully arylated in benzonitrile with Pd2 (dba) 3 as catalyst, the aza-acrylate furnished methoxylated products. The methoxylated products were subjected to an elimination/reduction protocol to obtain ...
