title: Palladium nanoparticle catalyzed Hiyama coupling reaction of benzyl halides.
abstract: An efficient Hiyama coupling reaction between benzylic halide and aryltrialkoxysilane using Pd nanoparticles has been developed. This procedure accommodates various functional groups to yield a diverse range of diarylmethanes which are ubiquitous units of natural products and pharmaceuticals.
