Abstract

The potential for nonactivated vinyl tosylates and phosphates to be worthy substrates for Heck couplings with electron-poor alkenes and styrene derivatives has been demonstrated. A mechanism for a 1,2-migration of the alkenyl palladium(II) intermediates is dicussed which leads to isomerized Heck products.
