Abstract

The catalytic arylation of aldehydes with arylboronic acids in only water was found to be achieved using the palladium/thioether-imidazolinium chloride system in good to excellent yields. This catalytic process showed high tolerance for a broad range of substrates, giving a variety of carbinol derivatives with 2.0–3.0 mol% of the catalyst.
