Preferred catalyst for coupling of aryl halides and triflates to give arylamines or aryl ethers,1 for boronylation reactions with bis(pinacolato)diboron,2 for allylation reaction involving allyltrifluoroborates and aryl halides under microwave heating,3 for synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles,4 for Suzuki-Miyaura-type cross-coupling reaction of potassium alkyltrifluoroborates with various alkenyl bromides,5 for synthesis of a novel bridged 2-(cyclopentadienyl)-indene system using Negishi-type cross coupling,6 and for synthesis of new 2,4-diaminopyrido[2,3- d]pyrimidine and 2,4-diaminopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine inhibitors of pneumocystis carinii, toxoplasma gondii, and mycobacterium avium dihydrofolate reductase.7
