Abstract

A novel chemoselective protocol for the carbonylative Suzuki coupling of benzyl chlorides with aryl boronic acids at low pressure of carbon monoxide has been developed. Applying a commercially available palladium acetate/PCy3 catalyst system in the presence of potassium phosphate as the base and water as the solvent the coupling reactions proceeded smoothly. To demonstrate the general applicability 12 different α-arylated ...
