title: Palladium-catalysed direct cross-coupling of organolithium reagents with aryl and vinyl triflates.
abstract: A palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of organolithium reagents with aryl and vinyl triflates is presented. The reaction proceeds at 50 or 70 °C with short reaction times, and the corresponding products are obtained with moderate to high yields, with a variety of alkyl and (hetero)aryl lithium reagents.
