title: Polystyrene-supported triphenylarsine reagents and their use in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions.
abstract: Soluble and insoluble polystyrene-bound triphenylarsine reagents have been prepared from 4-styryldiphenylarsine. The utility of these reagents as ligands for palladium in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions is demonstrated. In these applications, the use of polymeric triphenylarsine simplifies the purification of the coupled product and allows for the ligand to be recycled. Furthermore, the soluble polymeric arsine reagent permits the palladium catalyst to be recovered and reused.
