Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed reductive homocoupling of aromatic halides can be performed in alcohol solutions without any auxiliary reducing reagents. Pd (dppf) Cl2 [dppf= 1, 1′-bis (diphenylphosphino) ferrocene] has been shown as the most effective catalyst among the palladium catalysts screened for the model reductive homocoupling of iodobenzene in alcoholic solutions. The reduction of iodobenzene is stoichiometrically coupled with the ...
