M. Ueda et al., A palladium-catalyzed biaryl coupling of arylboronic acids in aqueous media using a gluconamide-substituted triphenylphosphine (GLCAphos) ligand, SYNLETT, (6), 2000, pp. 856-858
A water-soluble phosphine ligand, N-(3-diphenyl-phosphino)phenylmethyl gluc
onamide (GLCAphos). was newly synthesized to perform the palladium-catalyze
d biaryl coupling of arylboronic acids in a single aqueous media. The catal
yst prepared from GLCAphos revealed higher activity than that synthesized f
rom Ph2P(m-C6H4SO3Na) or P(m-C6H4SO3Na)(3) for various haloarenes.
