Patent ID: 7592473

Claim:
A method of synthesizing a compound, which comprises reacting a compound represented by the following general formula (1) with a compound represented by the following general formula (2), to produce a compound of formula R 1 -R 2 , or with a compound represented by the following general formula (3), to produce a compound of formula R 1 R 3 C═CR 4 R 5 , in the presence of a palladium-containing perovskite-type composite oxide using a reaction solvent comprising an alkoxy alcohol: R 1 —X (1) wherein R 1 represents an aryl group which may have a substituent, a heterocyclic group which may have a substituent, or an alkenyl group which may have a substituent; and X represents a halogen atom, a trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy group, a p-toluenesulfonyloxy group or a methanesulfonyloxy group, R 2 —M (2) wherein R 2 represents an aryl group which may have a substituent, a heterocyclic group which may have a substituent, or an alkenyl group which may have a substituent; M represents a —B(ORa) 2 — group or a —Sn(Rb) 3 group; Ra represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group which may have a substituent; and Rb represents an alkyl group, and instead of Ra, a ring including —OBO— may be formed through an arylene group which may have a substituent or an alkylene group which may have a substituent, both of which serve as a bond of —OBO—, and R 3 HC═CR 4 R 5 (3) wherein R 3 , R 4 and R 5 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, an aryl group which may have a substituent, a carboxylic acid derivative, an acid amide derivative or a cyano group.
