A new approach to the solid-phase Suzuki coupling reaction

Treatment of polymer-bound aryl halides with pinacol ester of diboron under palladium (0) catalysis gave the corresponding polymer-bound boronates. The Suzuki coupling reaction was then carried out using a variety of aryl halides. Cleavage from the solid support delivered the expected products in usually good yields and high purity.
