Abstract

An efficient Suzuki cross-coupling protocol enables the reaction of N-hetero and normal aryl chlorides with thiophene-and furanboronic acids. Coupling is effected in aqueous n-butanol as the solvent in near quantitative yield with a catalyst loading of 0.1-1 mol%. For heterocyclic substrates aqueous catalysis is found to be more efficient than Suzuki coupling under anhydrous conditions. The developed Suzuki coupling procedure utilizes ...
