• biaryl synthesis and is widely applied in organic chemistry. [1][2][3][4][5][6] In the last 10 years, there has been intense research interest in Suzuki reactions of aryl chloride substrates since these substrates are cheaper and more widely available than aryl bromides. A range of catalysts now exist
