Monooxychlorophosphine as a novel and efficient ligand for palladium-catalyzed suzuki-miyaura cross-coupling of aryl chlorides

A new sterically hindered monooxychlorophosphine was synthesized and the complex generated in situ from its reaction with Pd-2(dba)(3) promoted the Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of arylboronic acids with aryl chlorides in good yields.
