Homocoupling of aryl halides using catalytic system of palladium and phosphite
The palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of aryl halides was carried out using phosphite ligands. The optimized reaction conditions were Pd-2(dba)(3), phosphite 1, and NaOt-Bu in diglyme, and the desired homocoupling products were afforded in moderate to good yields.
