title: Oxidative cross-coupling of acrylates with vinyl carboxylates catalyzed by a Pd(OAc)2/HPMoV/O2 system.
abstract: Oxidative cross-coupling of acrylates with vinyl carboxylates was first successfully achieved by the use of a Pd(OAc)(2)/HPMoV/O(2) system in fair to good yields. For instance, the reaction of n-butyl acrylate with vinyl acetate in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)(2) and H(4)PMo(11)VO(40).nH(2)O under O(2) in acetic acid at 70 degrees C for 12 h afforded the corresponding cross-coupling product, n-butyl 5-(acetoxy)-2,4-pentadienoate, in 70% yield.
