Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between aryl boronic acids and haloarenes or aryl triflates has been shown to be a versatile method for the preparation of biaryls. 1 The original procedure developed by Suzuki2 has achieved widespread popularity in organic synthesis since it is compatible with a large variety of functional groups and the conditions tolerate aqueous reaction media. Moreover, the inorganic byproduct of the reaction is ...
