Abstract

Cross-coupling of aryl bromides with 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, 2-pyridyl, and 3-pyridyl aluminum reagents in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and (o-tolyl)3P provides useful biaryl building blocks. Additionally, the catalytic system was also suited well for the coupling reaction of benzyl halides with pyridyl aluminum reagents to afford a series of pyridylarylmethanes.
