High-yielding Heck reactions are demonstrated using 0.05 mol % Pd(OAc)2 without phosphine ligands. These reactions are run in a mesoscale flow reactor which allows precise control of reaction times and temperatures. Profiling yield and selectivity versus Pd loading shows 500 ppm to be optimal for aryl iodides; higher loadings favor side reactions caused by Pd(II) species. Aryl halides are examined via concise Design of Experiment to expand the scope and optimize conditions.
