Abstract

Palladium nanoparticles generated in PEG catalyze the reaction of bis (pinacolato) diboron with various aryl/benzyl halides to afford aryl/benzyl boronates in high yield. Arylboronates thus prepared, have been directly used in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction with different aryl halides and benzyl halides in a convenient one-pot, two-step solvent free green synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryls and diarylmethanes.
