“…Such a catalyst system was initially discovered by Mortreux, [7,52] and later improved and widely used by Bunz, [4,53,54] Mori, [55] Fürstner [3] and more recently Grela. [56,57] This "instant" method is attractive because all the ingredients are inexpensive, commercially available and stable "off the shelf" reagents can be used directly without the rigorous purifications and an inert atmosphere. [58] However, this catalytic system shows poor compatibility with some heteroatom functional groups, such as esters, aldehydes, pyridines etc.…”
