European J Org Chem. 2014 Feb 1;2014(6):1327-1332. doi: 10.1002/ejoc.201301272.

Abstract

tBu3P-Coordinated 2-phenylaniline-based palladacycle complex was demonstrated to be an efficient precatalyst for Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions of aryl halides with polyfluoroarenes via C-H activation strategy. The readily accessibility and easy handling nature of tBu3P- coordinated 2-aminobiphenyl-based palladacycle complex and the high yields of the reaction makes tBu3P-coordinated 2-aminobiphenyl-based palladacycle complex an attractive precatalyst for the cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with polyfluoroarenes.
