Scope of the Desulfinylative Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Aryl Sulfinates with Aryl Bromides

Dedicated to the memory of Keith Fagnou

Abstract

Herein is described the full scope of a desulfinylative cross-coupling of aryl sulfinates with aryl bromides. Optimized conditions were established and a bidentate phosphine ligand was found to be the key in obtaining good cross-coupling yields. Preliminary efforts to elucidate the reaction mechanism suggest that a Pd(0)-catalyzed mechanism is operative.

Key words

palladium - sulfur - cross-coupling - catalysis - biaryls
