S. Darses et al., Potassium organotrifluoroborates: New partners in palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, EUR J ORG C, (8), 1999, pp. 1875-1883
The preparation of various potassium organotrifluoroborates bearing either
aryl, alkenyl, or alkynyl substituents is described. These stable salts are
shown to be very efficient partners in palladium-catalysed cross-coupling
reactions with arenediazonium salts. affording biaryl and styrene derivativ
es in high yields.
