Abstract
A catalytic system made of a copper salt, potassium carbonate and PEG 3400 was developed to perform a Heck arylation under microwave activation. Copper iodide gave the best results in a short reaction time (30 min) and various substituted tert-butyl cinnamates could be synthesized. Better results were usually obtained after recycling the catalyst/solvent system.
