49. We have attempted to use MW reactor instead of conventional heating to perform this reaction. Under the same reaction conditions except MW heating at 130°C for 1 h, only 25% yield of p-tert-butylstyrene was obtained. For our recent reference on rhodium catalysis under MW conditions, see: Lee, H. W.; Lee, L. N.; Chan, A. S. C.; Kwong, F. Y. Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2008, 3403.
50. We tried to lower the loading of vinyl acetate to 2 equiv (with respected to arylboronic acid). However, the product yield dropped significantly.
