H. Oda et al., PALLADIUM-CATALYZED TERNARY COUPLING REACTION COMPOSED OF ARYL BROMIDES, PHENYLTRIBUTYLTIN AND 1,3-DIOXOLE, Synlett, (12), 1995, pp. 1225
The ternary coupling reaction composed of aryl bromides, phenyltributy
ltin and 1,3-dioxole under the palladium catalyst PdCl2[P(o-tol)(3)](2
) in THF proceeds to produce 4,5-diaryl-1,3-dioxolane in moderate to g
ood yield.
