Heck Reaction

Heck Reaction

The Palladium-catalyzed C-C Coupling Between Aryl Halides Or Vinyl Halides And Activated Alkenes In The Presence Of A Base Is Referred As The "Heck Reaction". Recent Developments In The Catalysts And Reaction Conditions Have Resulted In A Much Broader Range Of Donors And Acceptors Being Amenable To The Heck Reaction.

One Of The Benefits Of The Heck Reaction Is Its Outstanding trans selectivity.
