Methyl-3-phenylprop-2-carbonate

Because asymmetric catalysis enables access to several synthetically important compounds, microwave-assisted molybdenum-catalyzed allylic allylation has been studied using both free and polymer-supported bis-pyridylamide ligands [134]. The microwave-assisted catalytic reaction of 3-phenylprop-2-enyl methyl carbonate with dimethyl malonate in the presence of N,0-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (BSA) and a polymer-bound bis-pyridyl ligand was rather slow, however.
