Highly stable and active Pd-phosphine catalysts have been found for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of pyridine, pyrrole, and indole boronic acids. These complexes are not inhibited by the presence of highly basic aminopyridines or aminopyrimidines.

Air-stable and easily accessible PinP(O)H enables highly efficient palladium-catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling reactions of aryl tosylates. The in situ generated catalyst proved applicable not only to electron-rich and electron-poor carbocyclic tosylates but also to heterocyclic tosylates, such as pyridine and quinoline derivatives.

A range of biaryl compounds can be efficiently prepared in high yields by a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between ortho-substituted triarylindium reagents and aryl halides. The triarylindium reagents are prepared by directed ortho-lithiation and transmetallation to indium from the corresponding benzene derivatives.
