“…In these cases the ligand molecules associate themselves spontaneously with the air-stable Pd salt if co-solvated in an appropriate solvent. Various bases have been used as co-catalysts, among them KOH [43], Na 2 CO 3 [7,15], K 2 CO 3 [8,9,44], KHCO 3 [44], Ba(OH) 2 [29], NEt 3 , CsF [45,46], KF [8], and K 3 PO 4 [6,8,20,21,24]. Unfortunately their impact on the yield of a given coupling and the purity of the final products are difficult to estimate [47].…”
