“…According to the general procedure, PdA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (OAc) 2 (2.2 mg, 0.01 mmol) was added to a mixture of N-benzylpyrrole 3b (210 mg, 0.45 mmol), PPh 3 (10.5 mg, 0.04 mmol) and (n-Bu) 4 NOAc (202 mg, 0.67 mmol) in DMSO and this mixture was stirred at 60 8C for 1.5 h. After work-up, purification by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane/AcOEt 80%) gave 4b as an oil as an isomeric mixture Z/E in a 1/3 ratio; yield: 129 mg (84% 13 (20) [M] + , 256 (29), 212 (15), 123 (11), 111 (15), 109 (16), 97 (23), 95 (28), 93 (11), 85 (65), 83 (26), 83 (100), 81 (32), 79 (13), 71 (30), 70 (11)…”
