Low‐Temperature Ag/Pd‐Catalyzed Decarboxylative Cross‐Coupling of Aryl Triflates with Aromatic Carboxylate Salts

Abstract

At 50°C lower than the best known copper catalysts, a catalytic silver(I)/palladium(II) system allows the decarboxylative cross-coupling of arenecarboxylates with aryl triflates at temperatures as low as 120 °C. Remarkably, polychlorinated and many heterocyclic arenecarboxylates are converted for the first time in high yields. FG=functional group.
