Abstract
Nickel catalysed Heck arylation of the electron-rich olefin n-butyl vinyl ether with a wide variety of aryl bromides has been accomplished in the ionic liquid [bmim][BF4], affording an efficient green chemistry synthetic procedure for preparing functionalised acetophenone. The reaction gave a high regioselectivity and high yield without the need for the costely or toxic halide scavengers, leading predominantly to a branch-arylated α-product.
