Abstract
Herein, we give a full account of the development of the palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of benzylammonium salts with boronic acids. A range of benzylamine-derived quaternary ammonium salts can be coupled with boronic acids under relatively mild conditions. Our optimization has identified ligands that can be used to chemoselectively cross-couple at the ammonium in the presence of chlorides. We demonstrate that intramolecular palladium-catalysed C–H activation is also a viable pathway for the putative benzyl-Pd(II) intermediate obtained upon oxidative addition and have optimised this to obtain fluorene in good yield.

- 11 During the preparation of this manuscript, Zhao and co-workers reported a similar cross-coupling reaction, see: Wang T. Yang S. Xu S. Han C. Guo G. Zhao J. RSC Adv. 2017; 7: 15805 . Disappointingly, our own previous contribution was not acknowledged, despite our paper being referenced in another context. A notable advantage of our protocol is that ligand optimisation allows the reactions to be carried out at 50 °C rather than 100 °C
