Palladium catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling of benzyltrimethylammonium salts via C–N bond cleavage†
Abstract
A palladium catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling for construction of Csp3–Csp2 bond via Csp3–N bond activation of benzyltrimethyl-ammonium salt is described. This reaction not only offered a highly efficient approach to diarylmethanes but also paved the way for the application of benzyltrimethylammonium salts in the palladium catalyzed cross coupling reactions.
