Palladium-Mediated Transformations of Heteroaromatic Triflates

Abstract

Quinolyl triflates and isoquinolyl triflates undergo palladium-catalysed couplings with organostannanes, organoaluminiums and activated alkenes. The range of organic groups which can be transferred to the heteroaromatic substrate includes aryl, vinyl, alkynyl, alkyl and hydride.
