Fig. 8. Monitoring the Suzuki coupling reaction of (a) 4-iodobenzonitrile and (b) 4-iodoanisole with phenylboronic acid catalyzed by trans- (black squares – 1.5 mol%) and cis-5-Pd (red circles – 1.5 mol%, blue triangles – 0.6 mol%). Reaction conditions: phenylboronic acid (0.1 mmol), aryl halide (0.1 mmol), K2CO3 (0.3 mmol), 5-Pd, DMF/H2O 1 : 1 (3 mL), λmax = 365 nm, P = 10 W, rt.
