Abstract

A palladium catalyst composed of a biaryldialkylphosphine ligand effectively promotes the Negishi coupling of secondary alkylzinc halides with a wide range of aryl bromides and activated aryl chlorides. The broad substrate scope and excellent ratio of the desired secondary to the undesired primary coupling product make this method a powerful and reliable tool.
