Sulfonic acids and estersSulfonic acids and esters Q 0550Synthesis of Neopentyl Biphenylsulfonates Using the Suzuki-Miyaura Reaction. -2-, 3-and 4-Bromobenzenesulfonates (I) undergo Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with arylboronic acids (IV) to provide the title compounds such as (V), (VI) and (VII) in good yields. Similar chlorobenzenesulfonates do not produce the corresponding coupling products. -(CHO, C.-H.; KIM, C.-B.; SUN, M.; PARK*, K.; Bull.
