Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(95)00485-U

Stille Coupling of water-soluble aryl and vinyl halides with alkyl, aryl-, and vinyltrichlorostannane derivatives (RSnCl3) are effected in aqueous solution using a catalyst generated in situ from PdCl2 and KOH both with and without added PhP(mC6H4SO3Na)2.The yields are generally good to excellent, although some limitations of the protocol are described.
