Abstract
Publisher Summary The chapter reviews the literature for the period of 1980 to 1995 for benzene derivatives with one or more unsaturated side chains and begins with the presentation of synthesis of styrenes and derivatives. The Heck arylation reaction remains a popular choice amongst chemists for the preparation of substituted styrenes under mild conditions, and is described in various schemes. The Heck reaction is thought to proceed through the catalytic cycle. The equations containing structures, synthesis and reactions are shown with figures. Reviews are available for solvents of lower polarity, such as dichloromethane and toluene that generally prove less satisfactory, causing extended reaction times and decomposition of the nitrene precursor. Investigations with α-trimethylsilyloxystyrenes revealed that direct α–amination is achievable under Cu (I) catalysis.
