A novel method for producing styrenes from trans-cinnamic acids was developed. When trans-cinnamic acid was incubated with plant cell cultures at room temperature, styrene was obtained. 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxystyrene (2a), 3-nitrostyrene (2f) and furan (2g) were synthesized quantitatively.

A highly regioselective, Pd-catalyzed allylic fluorination of phosphorothioate esters is reported. This chemistry addresses several limitations of previously reported methods in which elimination and lack of reactivity were problematic. Preliminary mechanistic investigations reveal that these reactions are stereospecific and provide
