Abstract
The first example of a Liebeskind–Srogl cross-coupling reaction in water as sole reaction solvent is reported. 2-(Methylthio)pyridine and 2-(methylthio)benzothiazole were reacted in the presence of a Pd(0) catalyst and copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate with a series of arylboronic acids. These cross coupling reactions in water proceeded well with electron-rich boronic acids and gave comparable yields to literature examples using organic solvents. Electron-poor boronic acids gave somewhat lower yields in aqueous medium.
