Abstract

Abstract Image

Reaction of aryl- or heteroarylboronic acids with aldehydes, in the presence of PdCl2 and P(1-Nap)3, afforded carbinol derivatives in good to excellent yields. The efficiency of this reaction was demonstrated by the compatibility with nitro, cyano, acetamido, acetoxy, acetyl, carboxyl, trifluoromethyl, fluoro, and chloro groups and the possibility of involving aliphatic aldehyde or hindered substrates. Moreover, the rigorous exclusion of air/moisture is not required in these transformations.
