times with MeCN. Yields of methyl trans-cinnamate (3a)
were determined by isolated weight, 1H NMR analysis
(0.25 mmol of nitrobenzene was used as an internal stan-
dard), or HPLCanalysis (0.05 mmol of nitrobenzene was
used as an internal standard). In addition, the amount of Pd
species in the reaction mixture was examined by ICP-mass
after treatment with concentrated nitric acid for a few
weeks. The recovered {Pd}-S-GaAs plate was again subject-
ed to the above reaction conditions as a 2nd run. This proce-
dure was repeated for a total of 10 runs.
