Catalytic direct arylations in polyethylene glycol (PEG): recyclable palladium(0) catalyst for C-H bond cleavages in the presence of air.
Two protocols for ruthenium- or palladium-catalyzed direct arylations in user-friendly polyethylene glycol (PEG) were devised, which set the stage for the development of user-friendly palladium(0)-catalyzed C-H bond functionalizations in the presence of air with a recyclable phosphine ligand-free palladium complex.
