A facile synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryls via coupling reaction of aryl halides with sodium tetraphenylborate catalysed by MCM-41-supported thioether palladium(0) complex
Various functionalised unsymmetrical biaryls can be synthesised in high to excellent isolated yields via coupling reaction of aryl iodides or bromides with NaBPh4 catalysed by MCM-41-supported thioether palladium(0) complex. This palladium complex can be easily recovered and reused many times without loss of activity.
