Heck Reaction (Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling)

ArX + CH₂=CHR → ArCH=CHR + HX

Descripción general

The Heck reaction couples an aryl or vinyl halide with an alkene using a palladium catalyst and base. The mechanism involves oxidative addition of ArX to Pd(0), syn-migratory insertion into the alkene, and beta-hydride elimination to give the substituted alkene. Richard Heck shared the 2010 Nobel Prize.

Ejemplo cotidiano

The anti-inflammatory drug naproxen and the sunscreen ingredient octyl methoxycinnamate are synthesized using the Heck reaction.
