Abstract
A versatile Suzuki reaction of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic cross-coupling partners was developed. The method allowed the conversion of boronic acids, boronates, trifluoroborates even with unactivated aryl chlorides and tolerated various unprotected functionalities including NH2- and OH-substituted pyridines and indoles
