An overview of rhodium-catalysed heck type reactions

Heck coupling has emerged as a powerful tool for CC bond construction in organic chemistry. Traditionally, Heck reactions were catalysed by Pd, however sufficient research is done on rhodium-catalysed Heck type reactions due to its high efficiency. A wide range of Heck type coupling including oxidative, decyanative, desulfitative, decarbonylative Heck reaction, and even Heck type cyclizations have been described so far. Herein, we summarize the first review giving an overview of rhodium-catalysed Heck type reactions covering literature until 2021.
