Significance

The authors present a reusable, bench-stable, silicon-based transfer agent for effective room-temperature palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings of aryl chlorides with aryl lithium reagents.

Comment

DFT calculations outline the importance of the CF3 groups of the transfer agent and support a σ-bond-metathesis mechanism during transmetalation.
