A palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction between 2-oxyacrylates and aryl bromides was developed, where DavePhos was a unique ligand that efficiently promoted the reaction. The products, 2-oxycinnamates I [R1 = 4-MeC6H4, 4-FC6H4, 4-F3CC6H4, etc.; R2 = OMe, CH2CO2Me, NHAc, OAc, Opiv, OCOPh], served as excellent precursors, provided synthetically useful monoaryl pyruvates or ortho ester-protected monoaryl pyruvates depending on the nature of the 2-oxy group. The formation of such ortho esters via alkoxide addition was novel, and computational studies identified a plausible mechanism with an oxyallyl zwitterion as the key intermediate.
