44. Subsequently, two other catalyst systems have been reported for Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of sterically hindered aryl chlorides at ambient temperature, the latter being exceptionally practical and general: refs 8e and 4d. However, none of these systems has been reported to allow the successful formation of tetraortho-substituted biaryls from aryl chlorides.
