chloride, 4-methylbenzyl chloride, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl
chloride, 2,3,4,5,6-pentamethylbenzyl chloride, 3,4,5-tri-

1-(3-Methylbenzyl)perimidine (1). Perimidine (0.49 g,
2.9 mmol) was dissolved in distilled DMSO (10 ml);
t-BuOK (0.34 g, 3 mmol) was added into the solution, and
the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 min.
After this period, 3-methylbenzyl chloride (0.4 ml,
2.9 mmol) was added, and the mixture was irradiated by
MW at 110°C for 30 min. The progress of the reaction was
controlled by TLC (eluent EtOAc–hexane, 2:1). The
solvent and all volatile components were evaporated under
reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by
column chromatography (eluent EtOAc–hexane, 2:1).
Yield 0.74 g (95%), yellow solid, mp 154–157°C.

Pd-Catalyzed Heck reaction (General method). The
mixture of substituted aryl bromide (1.0 mmol), styrene
(156 mg, 1.5 mmol), perimidinium salt 2a–e (2 mol %),
Pd(OAc)2 (2.3 mg, 1 mol %), and Cs2CO3 (650 mg, 2.0 mmol)
was dissolved in 4 ml of DMF–H2O mixture, 1:1, and
stirred at 90°C for 4 h. Then the mixture was cooled to
ambient temperature and extracted by EtOAc. The organic
layer was separated and evaporated under reduced pressure.
The crude product was dissolved in EtOAc–hexane (1:5)
mixture, dried over MgSO4, filtered through a mini silica
column and analyzed by GC.17,19 All the stilbenes prepared
are known compounds, their physicochemical and spectral
characteristics correspond to the literature data.8,9
