Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed decarbonylative alkenylation of various benzoic acids with terminal alkenes provides the corresponding internal alkenes in very good yields. The conversion of cinnamic acids and bioactive benzoic acids such as 3-methylflavone-8-carboxylic acid, probenecid, adapalin, and febuxostat demonstrate the synthetic value of this new reaction.
