Preparation of functionalized biaryl compounds via cross-coupling reactions of aryltrialkoxysilanes with aryl bromides

Abstract

Aryltrimethoxysilanes react with aryl bromides in the presence of fluoride ion and palladium catalysts to give the corresponding biaryl compounds in good yields with high chemoselectivity.
