Abstract

Abstract The direct coupling of aryl halides with thiophene would be a considerable advantage for sustainable development because of only HBr associated with a base as by- product is formed and the number of steps to prepare these compounds is less than in more classical coupling reactions. We observed that through the use of only 0.2 mol% Pd (OAc) 2 as the catalyst, a range of aryl bromides undergoes coupling via a CH bond activation/ ...
