• ; diazonium salts; Matsuda–Heck reaction; microwave-assisted synthesis; stilbenes; Introduction Diazonium salts are known as one of the most valuable building blocks in organic synthesis [1]. Today, their most common use is the construction of carbon–carbon bonds in palladium-catalyzed reactions. Starting

• with the work of Matsuda’s group [2], who used a diazonium salt as a high-reactive electrophile for a Heck reaction, the Matsuda–Heck reaction does require the addition of neither bases nor ligands and is carried out under very mild conditions [3]. Furthermore, diazonium salts are more often prepared
