The direct formation of (hetero)biaryls from readily available (hetero)aryl halides under mild reaction conditions can be efficiently achieved through the Masuda borylation–Suzuki coupling (MBSC) sequence. MBSC sequence catenates Pd-catalyzed borylation and Suzuki into a one-pot process, giving access to diverse symmetrically unsymmetrically substituted scaffolds. (Hetero)biaryls are ubiquitous...

Two new NHC adducts of cyclopalladated ferrocenylpyrazine complexes 1-2 have been prepared and characterized. An efficient NHC-modulated Pd/Cu cocatalyzed three-component coupling reaction for the synthesis of 2,6-diarylquinolines from aminobenzyl alcohols, aryl ketones, and arylboronic acids in air is described. The reaction involves oxidation, cyclization and Suzuki reactions. The luminescenc...

Plants from the Aristolochia genus have been recommended for the treatment of a variety of human ailments since the time of Hippocrates. However, many species produce the highly toxic aristolochic acids (AAs), which are both nephrotoxic and carcinogenic. For the purposes of extensive biological studies, a versatile approach to the synthesis of the AAs and their major metabolites was devised bas...

Herein we report Pd catalyzed Suzuki type cross coupling between aryl halides and silylboranes for the syntheses of aryl silanes. This reaction shows a general substrate scope, excellent compatibility with electrophilic functionalities and good yields.

Carbazole-containing porphyrinoid was synthesised for the first time via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Oxidation with MnO(2) yielded its porphyrin-state featuring macrocyclic aromaticity in exchange for the loss of the resonance energies of the benzene rings.

Fluorophore tagged N-heterocyclic carbenes and the derived (NHC)Pd(allyl)Cl complexes were synthesized and the fluorescence signal was used to follow the course of a Suzuki coupling reaction.

A highly efficient palladium acetate-catalyzed ligand-free Suzuki reaction of 2,3,5-trichloropyridine with arylboronic acids in aqueous phase was developed. High yields of 3,5-dichloro-2-arylpyridines, a simple Pd source, absence of ligands, and environmentally benign as well as mild reaction conditions are important features of this method.

A diphenylphosphinite cellulose palladium complex (Cell-OPPh(2)-Pd(0)) was found to be a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. The products were obtained in good to excellent yield under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the catalyst could be easily recovered by simple filtration and reused for at least 6 cycles without losing its activity.

The cross-coupling reaction between phenylboronic acid and various types of aryl halides (Suzuki reaction) was carried out using a catalytic amount of a new palladium catalyst (1-benzyl-3-(1-benzyl-1-methylpyrrolidin-1-ium-2-yl) pyridin-1-ium palladium chloride [DBNT][PdCl4]) in poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG-200) in the presence of KOH as the base. This new catalyst was synthesized and...

12,13-Difluorofarnesyl diphosphate, prepared using Suzuki-Miyaura chemistry, is a potent inhibitor of aristolochene synthase (AS), indicating that the initial cyclisation during AS catalysis generates germacryl cation in a concerted reaction.
