• TITLE: Studies and Mechanism of Olefination Reaction in Aryl-Enolates with Paraformaldehyde

  AUTHORS: Jonathan Román Valdéz-Camacho, José Domingo Rivera-Ramírez, Jaime Escalante

  KEYWORDS: Olefination, Paraformaldehyde, α-Aryl-α, β-Unsaturated Ester, α-Methylenation

  JOURNAL NAME: International Journal of Organic Chemistry, Vol.9 No.1, January 17, 2019

  ABSTRACT: A simple, efficient and low-cost methodology for the synthesis of α-aryl-α,β-unsaturated esters using paraformaldehyde as a source of carbon was developed. Factors that control reaction yields such as temperature, concentration and reaction time were evaluated. A mechanism is proposed based on experimental structures of the intermediates.
