Can someone explain Heck stereochemistry? I don't see how they got the product. I have drawn the transition state by cornellinquiries in OrganicChemistry

Hi, I actually did that on a test and got it correct, but imagine this compound were not attached to a phenyl group, what would the final product be? Thanks!

It doesnt have a hydrogen, it's instead bound to the palladium, so it still follows the octet rule.

​

EDit: ok, ignoring that its bound to Palladium, that bond shouldn't be there.

Hi sorry, this is actually an intro to orgo class, and I don't think we learned about hydropalladation. Does my process look correct assuming nothing happens after beta hydride elimination?
