Abstract

The great progress in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds has been achieved due to the use of various transition metals as catalysts [1, 2]. Palladium catalysts are most often used among the transition metal catalysts for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds [3-6]. However, despite the obvious advantages of such palladium catalysts, they also have a number of considerable disadvantages related to the high cost and toxicity of both ...
