Abstract

The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction was applied for the synthesis of biologically relevant derivatives of known mucolytic agents Bromhexine and Ambroxol. Using commercially available electron-rich and electron-poor arylboronic acids the desired products are obtained in moderate to high yields (42-81%).
