The Heck reaction (also called the Mizoroki–Heck reaction) [1] is the chemical reaction of an unsaturated halide (or triflate) with an alkene in the presence of a base and a palladium catalyst to form a substituted alkene. It is named after Tsutomu Mizoroki and Richard F. Heck.
Intramolecular Heck reactions have been employed for the construction of complex natural products. An example is the late-stage, macrocyclic ring closure in the total synthesis of the cytotoxic natural product (–)-Mandelalide A. [19] In another example a fully intramolecular tandem Heck reaction is used in a synthesis of (–)-scopadulcic acid.
The reaction is named after Ei-ichi Negishi who was a co-recipient of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery and development of this reaction. Negishi and coworkers originally investigated the cross-coupling of organoaluminum reagents in 1976 initially employing Ni and Pd as the transition metal catalysts, but noted that Ni ...
In many of these catalytic cycles, reductive elimination is the product forming step and regenerates the catalyst; however, in the Heck reaction [17] and Wacker process, [18] reductive elimination is involved only in catalyst regeneration, as the products in these reactions are formed via β–hydride elimination.
Plucinkski and coworkers developed a continuous Mizoroki-Heck and hydrogenation sequence consisting of two separated packed-bed reactors containing Pd/C. [15] Because the Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation proceeds via a heterogeneous mechanism, [16] metal leaching due to the second hydrogenation step is minimal, and Pd leached from the first part of ...
The alkynylation reaction of aryl halides using aromatic acetylenes was reported in 1975 in three independent contributions by Cassar, [4] Dieck and Heck [5] as well as Sonogashira, Tohda and Hagihara. [6] All of the reactions employ palladium catalysts to afford the same reaction products.
Yet, the negative charge of the cyanide ion is localized on the carbon, giving it a (-) formal charge. This chemical ambivalence results in umpolung in many reactions where cyanide is involved. For example, cyanide is a key catalyst in the benzoin condensation, a classical example of polarity inversion. Mechanism of the benzoin condensation
The proposed Heck catalytic cycle involving cationic palladium with diazonium salts was reinforced by studies with mass spectrometry (ESI) by Correia and co-workers. [1] These results also show the complex interactions that occur in the coordination sphere of palladium during the Heck reaction with arenediazonium salt. HM Mechanism
