title: Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling of potassium nitrophenyl acetates with aryl halides.
abstract: A palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of potassium 2- and 4-nitrophenyl acetates with aryl chlorides and bromides has been developed. Because the nitro group can be readily converted to many other functional groups, the new reaction provides a useful method for the preparation of diverse 1,1-diaryl methanes and their derivatives.
