“…Heck reaction, the arylation and vinylation of alkenes with aryl or vinyl halides, has become a vital tool in chemistry with its ability to synthesize various compounds for uses in polymerization process, UV screening, hydrocarbon process, natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients [Beletskaya and Cheprakov, 2000;Karthikeyan, et al, 2012; Littke and Fu, 2001;Tessin, et al, 2013]. Palladium-based catalysts are generally used in Heck reactions and those species are highly effective even with less reactive substrates such as aryl chlorides [Iranpoor, et al, 2012;Pagliaro, et al, 2012;Shimizu, et al, 2004].…”
