The palladium-catalyzed intermolecular Heck-type reaction of both cyclic and acyclic epoxides is reported with tolerance of typical polar groups and acidic protons. Suitable alkenes include styrenes, conjugate dienes, and some electron-deficient olefins. In reactions of aliphatic terminal epoxides,...
