2-aryl oxazoline catalysed Suzuki coupling

Pd(OAc)2/2-ARYL OXAZOLINE CATALYSED SUZUKI COUPLING REACTONS OF ARYL BROMIDES AND BORONIC ACIDS... 

The palladium-catalysed Suzuki coupling reaction of aryl halides with arylboronic acids has proved to be a general and convenient synthetic tool employed in organic chemistry to prepare biaryl compounds.[1] The discovery and development of active and efficient palladium-catalyst systems have been the focus of great interest recently. New catalytic systems based on paUadium-oxazolines, such as 2-aryl oxazolines and 2,2 -(l,3-phenylene)bisoxazoline (Figure 4.1) have been developed for the coupling reaction. These catalytic systems have the potential to overcome...
