Arenediazonium o-benzenedisulfonimides can be used as new and efficient reagents for Heck-type arylation reactions of some common substrates containing C–C multiple bonds, namely ethyl acrylate, acrylic acid, acroleyne, styrene and cyclopentene. The reactions were carried out in an organic solvent, in the presence of Pd (OAc) 2 as pre-catalyst, and gave rise to arylated products, for example, ethyl cinnamates, cinnamic acids, cinnamic ...
