Ligandless Stille cross-coupling in ionic liquidsElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Stille coupling of iodobenzene with tributylvinylstannane in ionic liquids with complexed palladium catalyst. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/gc/b3/b313221h/

Abstract

The Stille cross-coupling reaction has been investigated in ten different ILs to evaluate how the different physico-chemical properties of the medium can affect the transfer of vinyl and alkyl groups, as well as the efficiency of the extraction processes. The possibility of working in the absence of ligand has been also evaluated.
