Palladium‐Catalyzed α‐Arylation of Aldehydes with Bromo‐ and Chloroarenes Catalyzed by [{Pd(allyl)Cl}₂] and dppf or Q‐phos

Pd source matters: A general method for palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of aldehydes (see scheme) was developed to couple linear and branched aldehydes with electron-poor and electron-rich bromo- and chloroarenes.
