Abstract

A Pd-catalyzed coupling-type reaction of aldehydes and organoboronic acids was achieved in the presence of P(1-nap)3, using Cs2CO3 in toluene, providing diaryl ketones with yields ranged from moderate to excellent. The efficiency of this reaction was demonstrated by the compatibility with nitro, cyano, trifluoromethyl, fluoro and chloro groups. Moreover, the rigorous exclusion of air/moisture is not required in these transformations.
