‘Awaken’ aryl sulfonyl fluoride: a new partner in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction

An example of the activation of the –SO 2 F group, which is traditionally considered a stable group even in the presence of a transition metal, is described using a novel partner in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd(OAc) 2 and Ruphos as ligands.
