Abstract

A crude vinylically unsaturated product formed from a palladium-complex-catalyzed reaction of a reactant halide selected from the group consisting of aryl, allyl, vinyl, and benzyl halides, and a reactant olefin having a vinylic hydrogen, wherein the reaction is carried out in the presence of a hydrogen halide acceptor, is purified by first contacting the crude product with a base that is stronger than the hydrogen halide acceptor, then heating the stronger base-contacted product. The purified product shows a marked reduction in concentration bromine and palladium impurities. The product can then be further purified by such methods as chromatography, crystallization, or distillation to achieve a product that is more suitable for applications where very low levels of inorganic impurities are required.
