cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-Tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)cyclopentane/[PdCl(C3H

hindered substrates. Very high turnover numbers can be obtained for the co
upling of sterically hindered aryl bromides with benzeneboronic acid or for
the coupling of bromobenzene with sterically hindered arylboronic acids. O
