Abstract

A general procedure for the stereospecific synthesis of (E)-stilbene derivatives by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of (E)-2-phenylethenylboronic acid pinacol ester with aryl bromides was investigated. (E)-2-phenylethenylboronic acid pinacol ester was prepared by 9-BBN-catalyzed hydroboration of phenylacetylene with pinacolborane. This reagent undergoes facile palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with a diverse set of aryl bromides to provide the corresponding (E)-stilbene derivatives in moderate to good yield. The use of the sterically bulky t-Bu3PHBF4 ligand was crucial to the successful coupling of electron-rich and electron-poor aryl bromides.
