Concept Introduction:
Heck reaction:
A palladium-catalyzed reaction of the carbon group of a haloalkene substituted for a hydrogen on double bonded carbon of an alkene is said to be Heck reaction.
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is
Mechanism:
Step-1:
Formation of Heck catalyst:
Heck catalyst s formed by the reduction of palladium from
Step-2:
Catalytic cycle for the formation of product:
The addition of alkene to the catalyst is syn addition and elimination of product is also syn elimination. The inversion of configuration occurs in the addition and forms E-product.
