Microwave-Assisted Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Aryl Ketones from Aryl Sulfinates and Direct ESI-MS Studies Thereof

A fast palladium(II)-catalyzed and microwave-promoted procedure using 6-methyl-2,2'-bipyridyl as ligand to synthesize aryl ketones from aryl sulfinates and nitriles is described. More importantly, ...
