title: Synthesis of alpha,omega-diarylbutadienes and -hexatrienes via decarboxylative coupling of cinnamic acids with vinyl bromides under palladium catalysis.
abstract: Readily available cinnamic acid derivatives such as ferulic acid couple with beta-bromostyrenes and 1-bromo-4-phenylbutadiene under palladium catalysis accompanied by decarboxylation to produce the corresponding alpha,omega-diarylbutadienes and -hexatrienes, respectively. Some of the products exhibit solid-state fluorescence.
