Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling of Aryl Iodides, Bromides, and Chlorides Catalyzed by Bis(thiazole) Pincer Palladium Complexes

Bis(thiazole) pincer palladium complexes showed efficient catalytic activity for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl halides, allowing the synthesis of biaryls with very high turnover numbers and turnover frequencies. The complexes were successfully applied in the scalable and green synthesis of the key intermediates of bioactive LUF5771 and its analogues.
