Abstract Solvent is one of the major sources of waste in the course of catalyzed direct arylations. Some palladium-catalyzed direct arylations of heteroaromatics can be advantageously performed without any solvent. In the presence of palladium catalysts (1 mol%) and potassium acetate as the base, the direct 5-arylation of some thiazoles, thiophenes, furans, or pyrroles with aryl bromides as coupling partners proceeds highly ...
