Abstract
The reaction of aryl halides or vinyl halides with activated alkenes in the presence of palladium-catalyst along with a base for the formation of the C-C bond is called the Heck reaction. This reaction has been employed extensively in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. We have highlighted these uses in 2010. This article aims to review the recent application of the Heck reaction in the synthesis of heterocycles and heterocyclic compounds which were modified in their side chains, during a period from 2010 to 2017.
