title: A general palladium catalyst system for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of potassium aryltrifluoroborates and aryl mesylates.
abstract: The first general examples of palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-type cross-coupling of aryl and heteroaryl mesylates with potassium aryl and heteroaryltrifluoroborates are presented. In addition to biaryl couplings, the cross-coupling reactions of aryl mesylates with alkyl and vinyltrifluoroborate salts have also been successfully accomplished.
