K. Fugami et al., Tetrabutylammonium fluoride-assisted cross-coupling reaction between organic halides and tetraorganotin reagents catalyzed by palladium, SYNLETT, (1), 1999, pp. 63-64
Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between organostannanes and org
anic halides are much facilitated by an addition of tetrabutylammonium fluo
ride (TBAF). All four substituents on tin can take part in the carbon-carbo
n bond formation. A butyl moiety of tetrabutyltin could also take part in t
he reaction.
