Barium Hydroxide as Catalyst in Organic Reactions; V. Application in the Horner Reaction under Solid-Liquid Phase-Transfer Conditions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1985-31438

A new application of a barium hydroxide catalyst for the Horner reaction is described.The scope of the synthetic method is shown; furthermore, the yields are higher and the reaction times shorter than those previously reported for similar experimental conditions (solid-liquid).Ethyl 3-(1'-pyrenyl)-acrylate and the 3-(1'-pyrenyl)-acrylonitrile are described for the first time.
