Palladium chloride catalyzed Hiyama cross-coupling reaction using phenyltrimethoxysilane

A palladium chloride catalyzed Hiyama cross-coupling reaction between aryl halides and phenyltrimethoxysilane in toluene has been developed. High yields of products, as well as the obviation of ligand are important features of this method. The scope of the reaction is broad, and a wide variety of functional groups are tolerant.
