A convenient method for the isomerization of cis-arylalkenes to their trans isomers using a palladium(II) catalyst is described. The reaction conditions are mild and general across a range of arylalkenes. The synthesis of a trans-resveratrol derivative from a mixture of alkene isomers was also completed.
Yu et al. (2002) studied this question.
