Palladium catalyzed atom-efficient cross-coupling reactions of triarylbismuths with aryl iodides and aryl triflates

The atom-efficient cross-coupling of triarylbismuths with aryl iodides or aryl triflates using catalytic Pd(OAc)2/PPh3 and K3PO4 as base in DMF at 90 °C to afford the corresponding functionalized biaryls in high yields is reported.
