Abstract
An efficient CuI-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction for the coupling of aryl- and heteroarylboronate esters with aryl and heteroaryl iodides proceeds at low catalyst loadings and for aryl-heteroaryl and heteroaryl-heteroaryl couplings under ligand-free conditions. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that [(L)CuF]2 is the species that undergoes transmetalation with arylboronate esters.
