Product Information

• Name: Ethyl Trans-4-Phenyl-2-Butenoate

Description

Ethyl trans-4-phenyl-2-butenoate is a cross-coupling product from the reaction of an organolithium reagent and an aldehyde. The strategy for this transformation is to generate an enolate by deprotonating the aldehyde with a strong base such as sodium or potassium, which can then be reacted with the organolithium reagent. The reaction requires kinetic control in order to optimize the yield of desired product. This process is often used in organic chemistry to synthesize β-unsaturated ketones.
