Significance

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides (or pseudohalides) and aryl (or vinyl) boronic acids, the so-called Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, were examined under aqueous conditions with a palladium/charcoal catalyst. The conditions depicted in the scheme were identified as the best conditions among 15 solvents, nine base-solvent combinations, and seven different Pd/C. Remarkably wide substrate tolerance was achieved under the optimized conditions. Little palladium leaching was observed (less than the detection limit of ICP-Mass analysis) from the reaction mixture.
