“…In order to address the abovementioned issues, numerous transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions using readily available aryl halides have been developed to access styrenes in the past several decades. 9 For example, tremendous Pd-catalyzed the vinylation of aryl halides using magnesium 10 -, lithium 11 -, aluminium 12 -, boron 13 -, silicon 14 -and tin 15 -based vinyl donors has been reported and widely applied to the synthesis of vinyl arenes (Scheme 1a). However, these methods generally suffer from the use of noble metal, expensive and sensitive ligand, and in some cases using toxic or unstable organometallic reagents.…”
