35. No catalyst has been reported which is effective for Suzuki coupling reactions to form biaryls with four ortho substituents; to the best of our knowledge, only one isolated yield (12%) has been for the synthesis of a tetrasubstituted biaryl (using Suzuki coupling) has been reported. See ref 15c.
