Repetitive two-step method for oligoarene synthesis through rapid cross-coupling of hydroxyphenylboronic acids and anhydrides
A two-step Suzuki-Miyaura coupling-triflation procedure, which features the use of hydroxyphenylboronic acids or anhydrides in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling step, has been developed for the synthesis of oligoarenes.
