M. Feuerstein et al., Efficient coupling of heteroaryl bromides with arylboronic acids in the presence of a palladium-tetraphosphine catalyst, TETRAHEDR L, 42(33), 2001, pp. 5659-5662
The cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane,[PdCl
(C3H5)](2) system catalyses the Suzuki cross-coupling of heteroaryl bromide
s with arylboronic acids with a very high substrate, catalyst ratio in good
yields. Substrates such as pyridines, quinolines. thiophenes, an indole. a
pyrimidine or a furane have been used successfully. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scie
