56. 2, were not active in the bis-alkoxycarbonylation of the styrene, see Table S2 in the Supporting Information.
57. Isoprene and 4-vinylcyclohexene monoxide were also tested in the bis-alkoxycarbonylation of styrene. Although conversions of 90% and 20% were achieved, respectively (with 2 mol% of catalyst loading), in both cases complex mixtures of products were attained.
58. Using the more sterically hindered t-BuOH as nucleophile the reaction was much slower, even with 2 mol% of catalyst loading. A conversion of 40% of 2a was attained leading to the 4,4′-1,4-phenylene 1-tert-butyl bis(2-phenylsuccinate) in 35% isolated yield.
