PRODUCTION OF UNSATURATED ORGANIC COMPOUND

摘要

PURPOSE: To obtain an organic compound such as biaryls and alkenylarenes useful as functional organic materials such as liquid crystal, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals in short step and high yield. CONSTITUTION: The objective unsaturated organic compound of formula R<1> -R<3> is produced by reacting an organic halosilane compound of formula R<1> -SiR<2> m X3-m (R<1> is an aryl, an alkenyl or an alkyl; R<2> is same as R<1> or a lower alkyl; X is a halogen; (m) is 0-2) with an organic halide of formula R<3> -Y<1> (R<3> is an aryl, a 1-alkenyl or a 2-alkenyl; Y<1> is a halogen) in a solvent (e.g. THF) in the presence of a group 10 transition metal catalyst (e.g. triphenylphosphine-palladium acetate) and a base (e.g. NaOH) at 0-200 deg.C. The amount of the catalyst is 0.2-5mol% based on the organic halide and that of the base is 3-10mol based on 1mol of the organic halosilane compound.
