Abstract

10,10′-dibromo-9,9′-bianthracene undergoes efficient Heck coupling with a series of para-substituted styrenes in the presence of a simple palladium-based catalytic system. The reaction proceeds with complete regio- and stereoselectivity. The disadvantage of this method is the minor competitive catalytic hydrodebromination.
