Abstract

Aromatic and hetero-aromatic acyl chlorides were efficiently cross-coupled with triarylbismuths as atom-efficient nucleophilic organometallic coupling reagents in sub- stoichiometric amounts using catalytic Pd (0)/C. Thus, the coupling reactions of various triarylbismuths with a variety of acyl chlorides furnished a plethora of both symmetrical/ unsymmetrical aromatic and hetero-aromatic ketones in high yields.
