Abstract
Pd(II)-catalyzed Fujiwara-Moritani reactions can be carried out without external acid at room temperature and in water as the only medium. A highly active cationic Pd(II) catalyst, [Pd(MeCN)(4)](BF(4))(2), easily activates aromatic C-H bonds to produce electron-rich cinnamates in good yields.
