Highly effective alternative aryl trihydroxyborate salts for a ligand-free, on-water Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction

Abstract

Aryl trihydroxyborate salts of sodium, an easily accessible and stable alternative source of organoboron species, can efficiently promote Pd-catalyzed ligand-free, on-water Suzuki–Miyaura (SM) coupling reactions at ambient temperature.
