Synthesis of fluorene-based oligomeric organoboron reagents via Kumada, Heck, and Stille cross-coupling reactions

J Org Chem. 2006 May 26;71(11):4332-5. doi: 10.1021/jo0602470.

Abstract

Boronic pinacol ester group is not reactive in Kumada, Heck and Stille coupling reaction conditions. Fluorene-based sophisticated organoboron compounds were synthesized by means of Palladium catalyzed Kumada, Heck and Stille cross-coupling reactions from halofluorenyl boronic esters.
