A rapid, anhydrous Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of alkylboronic esters with aryl halides is described. Parallel experimentation revealed that the combination of AntPhos, an oxaphosphole ligand, neopentyldiol alkylboronic esters, and potassium trimethylsilanolate (TMSOK) enables successful cross-coupling. In general, reactions proceed in under 1 h with good yields and high linear/branched (/) selectivities. Crucially, two literature examples which previously took >20 h to reach completion were accomplished in a fraction of the time with the method described herein. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds through a stereoretentive pathway and identified the boronic ester skeleton as a predominant pathway for deleterious protodehalogenation.
