Cross-coupling reaction of alcohols for carbon-carbon bond formation using pincer-type NHC/palladium catalysts.
A cross-coupling reaction of different alcohols was achieved using a pincer-type NHC/PdBr complex as the catalyst precursor, and the reaction, under either Ar or H(2) gas, displayed a broad substrate scope with respect to both primary and secondary alcohol components, with high alcohol product selectivity.
