A convenient catalyst system for microwave accelerated cross-coupling of a range of aryl boronic acids with aryl chlorides.
A convenient microwave accelerated cross-coupling procedure between aryl chlorides with a range of boronic acids has been developed. An explanation for the low reactivity of highly fluorinated boronic acids in Suzuki coupling is provided.
