Triarylphosphanes with Dendritically Arranged Tetraethylene Glycol Moieties at the Periphery: An Efficient Ligand for the Palladium‐Catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling Reaction

Abstract

Peripheral vision: A second generation dendritic phosphane, with tetraethylene glycol (TEG) moieties at the periphery, has been designed and prepared (see structure). It is particularly effective as a ligand for the title transformation when using aryl chloride substrates. To realize high catalytic activity, the TEG groups must be connected to the phosphane framework.
