Palladacycle catalysis: an innovation to the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction

Dalton Trans. 2016 Nov 28;45(44):17598-17601. doi: 10.1039/c6dt03542f. Epub 2016 Oct 24.

Abstract

Herein we report a Suzuki-Miyaura type cross-coupling between an aryl halide and a functionalized boronic acid palladacycle in the absence of an external catalyst. This reaction is an unprecedented case of catalysis in palladium metallacycle chemistry.
