Nickel or palladium catalysed carbonyl addition and related reactions

Nickel or palladium catalysed carbonyl addition and related reactions 

Palladium catalysed reaction of cinnamaldehyde with allyl benzoate and diethylzinc to produce ( )-1-phenyl-1,S-hexadien-3-ol66 

Caution All procedures in this chapter should be carried out in a well-ventilated hood, and disposable vinyl or latex gloves and safety goggles should be worn. 

For setting-up the reactor system, follow Protocol 1, steps 1-3. 

Add successively under nitrogen allyl benzoate (0.195 g, 1.2 mmol), cin-namaldehyde (0.132 g, 1.0 mmol), and diethylzinc (1.2 mL, 2.4 mmol), and stir the mixture at room temperature for 4 h.
