{ALF} For the Heck-type reaction of arenediazonium salts with alkenes, see p-Anisidine, A10946.

{ALF} Use in an improved "Wacker" oxidation of terminal alkenes to 2-alkanones, with p-Benzoquinone, A13162, as the co-oxidant, gives rates up to 50 times higher than earlier procedures: J. Org. Chem., 55, 2924 (1990).

{ALFA} Use in an improved "Wacker" oxidation of terminal alkenes to 2-alkanones, with p-Benzoquinone, A13162, as the co-oxidant, gives rates up to 50 times higher than earlier procedures: J. O

{ALF} Also catalyzes the allylic acetoxylation of cycloalkenes: Org. Synth. Coll., 8, 137 (1993).

{ALF} Widely used as catalyst, in the presence of a phosphine ligand and a base, in the Heck (or Mizoroki-Heck) reaction, for coupling of aryl or vinyl halides with alkenes. Reviews: Org. React., 27, 345 (1982); Acc. Chem. Res., 12, 146 (1979); 28, 2 (1995); Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 33, 2379 (1994); Chem. Rev., 100, 3009 (2000). In many reactions, e.g. the arylation of ɑß-unsaturated esters, Tri(o-tolyl)­phosphine, A12093 is superior to triphenylphosphine: J. Org. Chem., 43, 2952 (1978).

{ALF} For catalysis of the efficient "ligandless" Suzuki cross-coupling of arylboronic acids with aryl iodides, see: J. Org. Chem., 59, 5034 (1994); Org. Synth., 75, 61 (1997).

{ALF} In the presence of TBAB, catalyzes direct homocoupling of aryl halides: Tetrahedron Lett., 39, 2559 (1998).

{ALF} o-Allylic or o-vinylic phenols undergo phosphine-free Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling with vinylic halides and triflates, giving dihydrobenzopyrans and dihydrobenzofurans respectively: Tetrahedron Lett., 39, 237 (1998):
