Abstract
An improved protocol for the Pd-catalyzed α-arylation of aldehydes with aryl halides allows the coupling of an array of substrates including challenging electron-rich aryl bromides and less reactive aryl chlorides. The utility of this method has been demonstrated in a total synthesis of (±)-sporochnol.
