Significance

A palladium-catalyzed cross-­coupling between bromide and chloride derivatives of Baylis-Hillman adducts as electrophiles and triarylbismuths was successfully developed. Thereby, the triarylbismuth reagents could be efficiently applied in substoichiometric amounts as multi-coupling and atom-efficient nucleophiles.
