Abstract

The development of a novel Suzuki–Miyaura method has been achieved to allow the efficient arylation of bromophenols. A range of functionality is tolerated with regard to the boronic acid coupling partner and the reaction exhibits complete chemoselectivity for the Caryl–Br bond versus the Caryl–Cl bond in the aryl halide input. The experimental protocol features a short reaction time of 15min, utilizes inexpensive Pd/C as a catalyst, and is ...
