“…Dibutyl (2E,2¢E)-3,3¢-(Thiophene-3,4-diyl)diacrylate (69,R 1 =CO 2 Bu); Typical Procedure: [144] The reaction of 3,4-dibromothiophene (68; 0.242 g, 1.00 mmol), butyl acrylate (0.512 g, 4.00 mmol), and K 2 CO 3 (4.00 mmol) at 130 Palladium-containing nanostructured silica 71 bearing trialkyl(4-pyridyl)ammonium binding sites can be used as a heterogeneous catalyst for Heck coupling reactions. This methodology is especially useful because of the easy recovery and reuse of the catalyst.…”
