title: Low Pressure Vinylation of Aryl and Vinyl Halides via Heck-Mizoroki Reactions Using Ethylene.
abstract: Aryl bromides and iodides in the presence of catalytic amounts of a palladacycle derived from acetophenone oxime and 2 equivalents of potassium acetate react with ethylene under ambient pressure (15-30 psi) to give the corresponding vinylarenes. The reactions work with both electron-deficient and electron-rich aryl compounds and tolerate wide variety of common functional groups. Vinyl bromides lead to 1,3-dienes in moderate yields.
