title: Efficient ligandless palladium-catalyzed Suzuki reactions of potassium aryltrifluoroborates.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The ligandless palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of potassium aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates with aryl- or heteroaryl halides or triflates proceeds readily with very good yields. The cross coupling can be effected in methanol or water, in the open air, using Pd(OAc)(2) as a catalyst in the presence of K(2)CO(3). A variety of functional groups are tolerated.
