	abstract = {<p>Significant enhancement in the rate of Heck reactions has been achieved when catalytic amounts of Lewis acid (like FeCl(3)) promoters in the presence of trace amounts of water (\&gt; 2000 ppm) are used along with Pd complex catalysts. Experiments with different aryl halides, bases as well as olefins have been carried out to demonstrate the role of Lewis acid promoters. The increase in the reaction rates is due to the weakening of Ar-X bond by the Lewis acid in the manner similar to Friedel-Crafts reaction. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The kinetics of arylation of n-butylacrylate (n-BA) with 3-bromo-benzophenone (BBP) using a monomeric palladacycle complex [Pd(ppy)(PPh(3))(OTs)](ppy=2-phenylpyridine) catalyst has been studied. The effect of concentration of the substrate, base (NaOAc), and catalyst was studied at three different temperatures (413-433 K). The rate was found to be first order with respect to catalyst, first order tending to zero order with respect to n-butylacrylate and NaOAc concentrations. The rate passed through a maximum with variation of BBP concentration. The observed results have been explained on the basis of formation of Pd species (PdX(2), PdX(3)(-), PdX(4)(2-), and Pd(2)X(6)(2-)) which are inactive for the Heck reaction. Various empirical rate equations were considered to fit the rate data and the best fitting model has been selected. The rates predicted by model were found to be in good agreement with the observed experimental data. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},
