FeCl3-catalyzed 1,2-addition reactions of aryl aldehydes with arylboronic acids.
A novel protocol for the 1,2-addition reactions of electron-deficient aryl aldehydes with arylboronic acids using an inexpensive and environmentally benign iron catalyst is reported. In the presence of FeCl(3) and 2-(di-tert-butylphosphino)biphenyl, 1,2-addition reactions of various electron-deficient aryl aldehydes with arylboronic acids provided the corresponding biaryl methanols in moderate to excellent yields.
