Abstract
Biphenylene-substituted di-tert-butylruthenocenylphosphine (R-Phos) showed high activity as a supporting ligand in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of aryl chlorides with arylboronic acids. Substrate combinations even for the construction of highly hindered tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls can be achieved in good to excellent yields with low catalyst loadings.
