title: Palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of heteroaromatic compounds: improved conditions utilizing controlled microwave heating.
abstract: A versatile and rapid microwave-assisted procedure for the palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of heterocycles by aryl bromides and heteroaryl bromides is described. This novel protocol features short coupling times (10-60 min) and low catalyst loadings (1 mol %) and allows the successful arylation of previously unreactive heterocyclic substrates.
