Abstract

An improved palladium-catalyzed Hiyama cross-coupling reaction is reported. In the presence of PdCl2(MeCN)2, P(o-tol)3 and TBAF, a number of ArX (X = I, Br, Cl) were coupled with ArSi(OMe)3 efficiently to afford the desired cross-coupled products in moderate to excellent yields. It is noteworthy that this protocol is conducted under relatively low Pd loadings and solvent-free conditions.

Only Pd(OAc)2 as the Pd source was examined in reference 5a. We also attempted to reuse the PdCl2(MeCN)2/P(o-tol)3/TBAF system, however, only a 48% yield of 3 was isolated in the second run.
