Efficient synthesis of 3-arylphthalides using palladium-catalyzed arylation of aldehydes with organoboronic acids

J Org Chem. 2009 Dec 4;74(23):9210-3. doi: 10.1021/jo901964k.

Abstract

The synthesis of 3-arylphthalides via palladium-catalyzed arylation of aldehydes with organoboronic acids was achieved using the thioether-imidazolinium carbene ligand in good to excellent yields and was carried out using 1.0 mol % of the catalyst with high substrate tolerance.
