Abstract

The arylation of ethylene with aroyl chlorides, catalysed by palladium(II) acetate, leads to styrene and stilbene derivatives. By appropriate choice of reaction conditions, particularly the ethylene pressure, the reaction can be made to produce either styrene or stilbene derivatives selectively. The reaction tolerates those common substituents which do not react with aroyl chlorides. Only trans-stilbene derivatives are formed.
