Abstract

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of benzylic phosphates with arylboronic acids using a simple catalytic system of palladium(II) acetate and triphenylphosphine with either potassium phosphate or potassium carbonate as the base and toluene as the solvent at 90°C allows the preparation of a series of structurally diverse diarylmethanes.
