A general method for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of sterically hindered aryl chlorides: synthesis of di- and tri-ortho-substituted biaryls in 2-propanol at room temperature.
The catalytic formation of di- and trisubstituted ortho biaryl junctions has been achieved using a palladacylce pre-catalyst bearing a N-heterocyclic carbene ligand. This transformation is performed at room temperature in technical grade 2-propanol.
