Palladium catalysed electrosynthesis using aryl trifluoromethanesulfonates (triflates). Synthesis of biaryls and aromatic carboxylic acids
Abstract
The palladium(II) complex [PdCl2(PPh3)2] catalyses the electrosynthesis of biaryls from aryl triflates whereas, in the presence of carbon dioxide, this complex catalyses the electrosynthesis of aromatic carboxylic acids.
