A novel and efficient Pd/C-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction of aryltriazenes with tributyl(phenyl)stannane has been realized in the presence of 1 equiv of BF3•OEt2 under room temperature. The Pd/C catalyst could be re-used several times and still retained its high activity. The present protocol, utilizes simple and recyclable catalyst, readily available starting materials and mild reaction conditions, provides an attractive methodology to a diverse range of biaryl products in moderate to excellent yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
