Highly Efficient Palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-coupling with 9,10-Dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11,12-diimine Ligands under Mild Aerobic Conditions
A novel 9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11,12-diimine/Pd(OAc)(2) system has been demonstrated to form a highly efficient catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of various aryl bromides and activated aryl chlorides with arylboronic acids in high yields at room temperature in ethanol/aqueous media under ambient atmosphere.
