Abstract

Oxidative Heck reactions provide a facile and efficient route to carbon-carbon bond formations. This review is divided into two main sections, the first consisting of oxidative Heck reactions of organometallic compounds such as organoboranes, organosilanols and arylstannanes, and the second covering oxidative Heck reactions via C-H activation, a topic which has become an attractive theme in organic synthesis.
