title: Microwave-promoted Suzuki reactions of aryl chlorides in aqueous media.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The microwave-promoted Suzuki coupling reaction of aryl chlorides with boronic acids performed in an aqueous media was studied using the air- and moisture-stable catalyst POPd2 (dihydrogen di-mu-chlorodichlorobis(di-tert-butylphosphinito-kappaP)dipalladate (2-)). This catalyst system under microwave conditions (150 degrees C, 15 min) provided coupled products with yields ranging from 64% to 99%. This method tolerated a variety of substituents and sterically hindered substrates.
