We have previously shown that the use of ligand-free palladium employing Pd(OAC)(2) as catalyst precursor in the Heck reaction of aryl bromides is possible if low catalyst loadings, typically between 0.01-0.1 mol % are used. We have now tested this phenomenon, which we have dubbed "homeopathic" palladium, in biaryl formation using the Suzuki, the Negishi and the Kumada cross-coupling reactions. The Suzuki reaction of aryl bromides, both activated and deactivated, is possible using 0.02-0.05 mol % of Pd(OAC)(2). In this reaction turnover frequencies up to 30,000 have been reached with activated substrates. Even aryl chlorides could be reacted if strongly electron-withdrawing substituents were present. ne Negishi coupling with a variety of arylzinc halides was possible on aryl bromides containing electron-withdrawing substituents. The Kumada reaction only gave low yields of products under "homeopathic' conditions.
