Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed regioselective Heck arylation of various electron-rich olefins has been accomplished in imidazolium ionic liquids with a wide range of aryl bromides and iodides. The reaction proceeded with high efficiency and remarkable regioselectivity. The chemistry provides a simple, effective method for preparing branched olefins and contributes to the extension of the Heck reaction to a wider range of substrates.
