Palladium-catalyzed benzylic direct arylation of benzyl sulfones with aryl halides
摘要:
An effective palladium catalyst system for the direct arylation of benzyl sulfones with aryl halides has been developed. The catalytic reaction provides a facile route to diarylmethyl sulfones. The products can be transformed further via desulfonylative functionalization mediated by aluminum compounds. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
