An efficient cobalt catalyst system for the Suzuki−Miyaura crosscoupling reaction of arylboronic esters and aryl halides has been identified. In the presence of cobalt(II)/terpyridine catalyst and potassium methoxide, a diverse array of (hetero)biaryls have been prepared 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.
