A simple and highly efficient one‐pot approach has been developed for the Pd(PPh3)4‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of two different aryl or heteroaryl bromides/iodides. This method involves the combined use of microwave irradiation and water as a single solvent to achieve sequential stannylation and Stille cross‐coupling reactions, which allows rapid access to a wide variety of biaryls in good to high yields. Furthermore, utilizing this step‐economical protocol, 2,5‐dibromopyridine was iteratively diarylated and the Boscalid intermediate was also synthesized in a one‐pot manner.
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.
