Regioselective Heck reaction of aliphatic olefins and aryl halides?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2013-09-10 DOI: 10.1039/C3CC45911J

Abstract

A regioselective Heck reaction of aliphatic olefins and aryl bromides is realized at internal carbons of olefins. Methanol solvent promoted halide ionization from neutral arylpalladium halide complexes via hydrogen bonding, so as to create cationic aryl-Pd species for regioselective olefin insertion.
