Palladium-Catalyzed &alpha;-Arylation of Aldehydes with Bromo- and Chloroarenes Catalyzed by [Pd(allyl)Cl]<sub>2</sub> and DPPF or Q-phos.

Abstract

Pd source matters: A general method for palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of aldehydes (see scheme) was developed to couple linear and branched aldehydes with electron-poor and electron-rich bromo- and chloroarenes.
