Reveal your fate as a dihaloarene in cross-coupling. Will you retain a halide, or will you lose both of your halides in a double reaction? Roll the ligand and solvent dice to determine—but remember, the rules are different for aryl chlorides and bromides! [Cover art by co-author Matthew Sandin.]

C2-Selective Palladium-Catalyzed C–S Cross-Coupling of 2,4-Dihalopyrimidines

Under most conditions, 2,4-dihalopyrimidines undergo substitution reactions at C4. Here we report that Pd(II) precatalysts supported by bulky N-heterocyclic carbene ligands uniquely effect C2-selectiv...
