Abstract

Vinylation is a versatile process for the carbon–carbon bond formation and for the functionalization of a variety of organic halides. Vinylation of aryl and vinyl halides, the Heck reaction, 1 is generally performed by the catalytic action of a zero-valent palladium complex formed in situ by the reduction of a palladium salt. 2 Several natural products or biologically active compounds have been synthesized during the last two decades using this process as a key stage. 3., and Indeed, this ...
