The palladium-catalyzed Mizoroki–Heck cross-coupling reaction represents one of the most 
valuable methods for carbon–carbon bond formation in organic synthesis. 1 Thus, a number 
of efficient catalytic systems have been developed for this cross-coupling reaction. The 
catalyst in the standard Heck reaction is a Pd (0) species stabilized by two phosphine 
ligands. However, phosphine ligands have some drawbacks; they are expensive, toxic, 
unrecoverable, and sensitive to oxygen and water. 2 On the other hand, due to the high ...
