A palladium (II) complex {[(PhCH₂O)₂P(CH₃)₂CHNCH(CH₃)₂]₂PdCl₂} catalyzed Hiyama cross-coupling reaction between aryl bromides and arylsilanes has been developed. The substituted biaryls were produced in moderate to high yields, regardless of electron-withdrawing or electron-donating.
Keywords: Hiyama cross-coupling reaction; palladium (II) complex; synthetic method; unsymmetrical biaryls.
