Bis(diphosphaferrocene) palladium(II) dimer complexes as efficient catalysts in the synthesis of arylboronic esters

Bis(diphosphaferrocenes)PdCl2 dimers efficiently catalyse cross-coupling reactions between aryl iodides and pinacol borane in dioxane at 80 °C to afford the corresponding aryl boronic esters derivatives in excellent yields.
