Abstract

The Pd/C/Ph3P- and Pd(PPh3)4/Ph3P-catalyzed cross-couplings of dibromoarenes with arylboronic acids to form bromobiaryls in good to excellent yields are described. Our study showed that readily available Pd/C/Ph3P and Pd(PPh3)4/Ph3P were practically useful catalysts for the synthesis of bromobiaryls from dibromo­arenes.

We have also tested Pd/C/Ph3P- and Pd(PPh3)4/Ph3P-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of o-bromoiodobenzenes with arylboronic acids and found bromobiaryls were formed exclusively with excellent yields.
