2-Aryl-indenylphosphine ligands: design, synthesis and application in Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions.

A focused library of phosphine ligands was constructed for structural optimization. The catalyst can be used to perform the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides.

Efficient phosphine ligands for the one-pot palladium-catalyzed borylation/Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.

We report the synthesis of 2-(anthracen-9-yl)-1H-inden-3-yl dicyclohexylphosphine and its use in palladium-catalyzed borylation/Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction to prepare a variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical biaryl compounds in excellent yield.

A general catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira reactions of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides in water.

We report the synthesis of 2-(3-sulfonatomesityl)-5-sulfonatoindenyl)dicyclohexylphosphine hydrate sodium salt and its use in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira coupling reactions in water (and biphasic water-organic solvent mixtures) to prepare a variety of functionalized biaryls and aryl alkynes in excellent yield.
