title: A general and straightforward route toward diarylmethanes. Integrated cross-coupling reactions using (2-pyridyl)silylmethylstannane as an air-stable, storable, and versatile coupling platform.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Pharmacologically important diarylmethane structures have been prepared in a straightforward manner through sequentially integrated Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. (2-Pyridyl)silylmethylstannane was found to be an air-stable, storable, and versatile coupling platform in this synthetic strategy.
