For / R 1 odd, this result has been proved by Shult [31]. The purpose of this paper is to prove Theorem 1. I when j Sz I is even. We remark that the groups listed in Theorem 1 .l all satisfy the hypotheses of the theorem. Also, sharply 2-transitive groups have been completely classified by Zassenhaus [44]. This theorem is one of a number of results of a similar nature. Zassenhaus groups are eas...

Among cross-coupling reactions, the Suzuki-Miyaura transformation stands out because of its practical advantages, including the commercial availability and low toxicity of the required reagents, mild reaction conditions, and functional group compatibility. Nevertheless, few conditions can be used to cross-couple alkyl boronic acids or esters with aryl halides, especially 2-pyridyl halides. Here...
