Cobalt-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions of Arylboronic Esters and Aryl Halides was written by Duong, Hung A.;Wu, Wenqin;Teo, Yu-Yuan. And the article was included in Organometallics in 2017.Reference of 25676-75-9 This article mentions the following:
An efficient cobalt catalyst system for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of arylboronic esters and aryl halides has been identified. In the presence of cobalt(II)/terpyridine catalyst and potassium methoxide, a diverse array of (hetero)biaryls have been prepared in moderate to excellent yields. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4-Bromo-1-methylimidazole (cas: 25676-75-9Reference of 25676-75-9).
4-Bromo-1-methylimidazole (cas: 25676-75-9) belongs to imidazole derivatives. Imidazole is a heterocyclic compound with a five-membered planar ring. It is amphoteric and highly polar. Imidazole also acts as a microtubule destabilizing agents and inhibits topoisomerase and Cytochrome P450 Family 26 Subfamily A Member 1 (CYP26A1) enzymes.Reference of 25676-75-9
