Abstract

Carbene adduct of cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine exhibited highly catalytic activity for the α- arylation of ketones with aryl halides. The corresponding products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. Such protocol was applied to various ketones and a broad scope of aryl halides including aryl chlorides, bromides as well as unactivated and sterically hindered aryl halides.
