Abstract

Abstract: An in situ generated catalytic system derived from PdCl 2 and (C 6 H 5) 3 CNH 2 shows good-to-excellent activity (upto 92% isolated yield) in the microwave-assisted Suzuki- Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides with arylboronic acids in aqueous media. Both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing aryl bromides can be efficiently coupled with arylboronic acids. Chloroarenes can also be coupled, but much lower yields are ...
