Heck vinylation of aryl iodides by a silica sol-gel entrapped Pd(II) catalyst and its combination with a photocyclization process

Org Lett. 2004 Mar 18;6(6):925-7. doi: 10.1021/ol030140o.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] Silica sol-gel encaged PdCl(2)(PPh(3))(2) is a recyclable catalyst for the Heck vinylation of aryl iodides. It is possible to couple the Heck reaction with photocyclization in a one-pot process.
