Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions in supercritical carbon dioxide

Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed carbon–carbon bond coupling reactions, the Heck and Stille reactions, proceed in supercritical carbon dioxide with a number of phosphine ligands including tris[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]phosphine, which affords high conversions and selectivities.
