Abstract
An efficient and simple protocol for phosphine-free Heck reactions in water in the presence of a Pd(L-proline)2 complex as the catalyst under controlled microwave irradiation conditions is versatile and provides excellent yields of products in short reaction times. The reaction system minimizes costs, operational hazards and environmental pollution.
