Finally, the applicability of OAC-1 to C-C bond-forming reactions was initially tested using fluorosulfate 7a and a pyridyl-3-boronic acid shown in Scheme 12. The resulting biaryl product 41 was isolated in close to quantitative yield, while the coupling using BippyPhos, but not in its OAC form, led to only a 20% yield under the same conditions of reaction concentration, temperature, and time. These results suggest that OAC-1 may provide, with finetuning, similar enhancements in other types of highly valued cross couplings. Scheme 12.
