Abstract

The new well-defined catalyst [Pd(mu-Cl)Cl(IPr*)](2) enables the efficient Grignard reagent cross-coupling for the synthesis of tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls. The high reactivity of the complex is associated with the important bulkiness of the IPr* ligand. The dimer represents the most efficient catalyst reported to date for this challenging transformation.
