A series of aryl bromides undergo a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction with 3-[(tert- butyldimethylsilyl) oxymethyl]-4-(tri-n-butylstannyl) furan to provide 4-aryl-3-[(tert- butyldimethylsilyl) oxymethyl] furans in moderate to good yields. Key words: palladium, cross- couplings, stannanes, 3, 4-disubstituted furans.
