Base-Free Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Arylsulfonium Salts with Sodium Tetraarylborates

Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of arylsulfonium salts with sodium tetraarylborates were found to proceed smoothly without recourse to an additional base, providing a new, reliable route to biaryls from organosulfur compounds.

Key words

C–S cleavage - C–C bond formation - cross-coupling - sulfonium salts - sodium tetraarylborates - palladium
