Synthesis, 2009, 4, 681-686 published on 19.12.2008
Synthesis
A wide range of polyfunctional aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, and benzylic zinc reagents were coupled with unsaturated aryl halides bearing an acidic NH or OH proton, using palladium(II) acetate (1 mol%), and S-Phos (2 mol%) as catalyst without the need of protecting groups.
