Abstract

[Pd (IPr* OMe)(cin)(Cl)] provides high catalytic activity for Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling reactions of sterically demanding aryl chlorides with sterically hindered and deactivated aniline derivatives. This catalyst also proved efficient in Suzuki–Miyaura reactions, thus allowing the preparation of tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls. The Kumada–Corriu coupling has also been investigated using this palladium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyst.
