• heterogeneous supports for palladium(0) nanoparticles is described. These functionalized polymers were incorporated inside a flow reactor and employed in Suzuki–Miyaura and Heck cross couplings under continuous flow conditions. Keywords: Heck–Mizoroki reaction; heterogeneous catalysis; ion exchange resin

• 0.7 ppm for each run. This very low value for leaching corresponds to the leaching determined for transfer hydrogenations with this catalytic flow system using cyclohexene as hydrogen source and solvent [23][24]. Heck–Mizoroki reactions One other very important cross coupling reaction that bears

• industrial relevance is the Heck–Mizoroki reaction. We were able to perform C-C coupling reaction under flow conditions with aryl iodides 23–28 using catalyst 3 (Table 2). Optimization of the conditions for our monolithic flow reactor was conducted with 4′-iodoacetophenone (23) and styrene (29) as coupling

• ] proved to be infeasible. However, in light of the report by Itami and Yoshida [34], we attempted the Mizoroki–Heck C–H arylation of 4-bromo-N,N-dimethylaniline with an equimolar amount of vinylboronate pinacol ester leading to the desired 3c in 73% yield (Scheme 1, Method A). 4-Substituted 4

• . Overall 12 extended π-linkers have been easily synthesized (8 of them are new compounds) utilizing procedures such as a lithiation/reaction with triisopropyl borate/esterification with pinacol, Mizoroki–Heck coupling with vinylboronate pinacol ester, borylation with bis(pinacolato)diboron or Sonogashira

• indolizidine alkaloid mimics has been developed. The indolizidine derivatives 8 were prepared via heteroaryl Grignard addition to N-acylpyridinium salts followed by an intramolecular Heck cyclization. Further substitution reactions were developed to demonstrate that heterocycles 8 are good scaffolds for

• from N-TIPS-3-bromopyrrole [18] and N-TIPS-3-bromoindole (entries 8,9). Next, the intramolecular reductive Heck cyclization with N-acyl-2,3-dihydropyridones 1a-i was investigated (Table 2). A short synthesis of indolizidine alkaloids of type 8 by using Heck or anionic cyclization methods was developed

• derivatives containing functionality in the benzene ring was examined. The chloro-substituted compound 1j was prepared from 6 and 4-chloro-2-iodobenzoylchloride (7b). [20] The reductive Heck cyclization of 1j proceeded without difficulty to provide compound 8j in 82% yield (Scheme 1). Next, the nitro
