“…[3] Organoaluminum reagents occupy ac entral position in synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry because of their low cost, ready availability,low toxicity,and exceptional Lewis acidity. [2,6] However,i nr ecent years,n ew coupling procedures that do not require those additives have also been developed:for example,1)byappropriately tuning the coordination of aluminum (by using heteroleptic ligands, [7] triarylaluminum compounds such as Ar 3 Al, [8,9] or am ore reactive organoaluminate complex [10] ), 2) by using another transition-metal catalyst such as Ni [11] or Fe, [9,12] and 3) notably,byusing aryl-or benzylaluminum reagents freshly prepared in situ with proper Pd catalysts and ligands. [5] Thei nitial methods for cross-coupling with organoaluminum usually required ac o-catalyst such as zinc or indium salts to accelerate the reaction.…”
