Abstract:A selective oxidative Heck cross‐coupling method was developed and optimized as a pivotal step for a synthetic route leading to the trans‐stilbene framework. The developed method and synthesis were needed in a SAR study in progress that concerned design and development of an inhibitor for the human cell xCT antiporter system. The developed oxidative Heck cross‐coupling method was examined with a variety of substrates and reagents to produce a library of different substituted trans‐stilbenes, which revealed the… Show more
