The Suzuki reaction is an exceptionally useful cross-coupling process that has been widely applied in synthetic chemistry, and boronic acids are, by far, the most commonly employed coupling partner. To date, however, no versatile method has been developed for cross-coupling boronic acids with unactivated alkyl (as opposed to aryl or vinyl) electrophiles. This report describes a catalyst system that achieves this objective at room temperature. On the mechanistic side, this study demonstrates that Pd(P(t-Bu)2Me)2undergoes oxidative addition under surprisingly mild conditions (0 °C). The resulting adduct is sufficiently stable toward β-hydride elimination that it can be structurally characterized, and it is a chemically competent intermediate in the cross-coupling process.
