Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling of Aryl Halides with (Trimethylstannyl)diphenylphosphine and (Trimethylsilyl)diphenylphosphine

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00381a008

The palladium-catalyzed reaction of aryl halides with either (trimethylsilyl)diphenylphosphine or (trimethylstannyl)diphenylphosphine gives aryldiphenylphosphines in good yields, under relatively mild conditions (50-70 deg C, benzene).The reaction tolerates a number of functional groups including methyl ethers, esters, ketones, nitriles, anilides, and certain halogens.The nitro and aldehyde groups as well as compounds containing groups such as amino and hydroxyl are not tolerated.
