The cross-coupling reaction between phenylboronic acid and various types of aryl halides 
(Suzuki reaction) was carried out using a catalytic amount of a new phosphine-based 
catalyst under microwave irradiation. The reaction conditions were optimized and results 
showed that, by application of this catalytic system, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as the solvent 
and potassium carbonate as the base, reactions could be completed in a short reaction time 
with high to excellent yields. Copyright© 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Keywords: Suzuki ...
