Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions of Benzyl Indium Reagents with Aryl Iodides
摘要:
Herein described is an operationally simple procedure for generating benzyl indium species from readily available benzyl bromides and indium metal followed by in situ palladium-catalyzed coupling with aryl halides. The procedure provides diarylmethanes in modest to excellent yield and tolerates a variety of functional groups in both coupling partners.
