Abstract

Hydroarylation of propiolic acids with various arenes in TFA proceeded efficiently in the presence of FeCl3/AgOTf catalyst system. In the case of electron-rich arenes, the iron-catalyzed hydroarylation gave cinnamic acids in moderate to high yields. The hydroarylation of phenylacetylene was observed but the catalyst was not effective under the same conditions.
