CO Cross‐Coupling of Activated Aryl and Heteroaryl Halides with Aliphatic Alcohols

Abstract

A robust and general catalyst system facilitates the alkoxylation of activated heteroaryl halides with primary, secondary, and select tertiary alcohols without the need for an excess of either coupling partner. This catalyst system displays broad functional-group tolerance and excellent regioselectivity, and is insensitive to the order of reagent addition.
