Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of trialkylaluminiums with aryl triflates: facile conversion of a phenolic hydroxy group into an alkyl group
Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl trifluoromethanesulphonates with trialkylaluminiums gives the corresponding alkylarenes in high yields, a reaction which provides a convenient method for the conversion of a phenolic hydroxy group into an alkyl group.
