Abstract

A new type of triaryl phosphine-functionalized imidazolium salts were prepared. Their palladium complexes, generated in situ, were successfully applied in the palladium- catalyzed Heck reaction. Using 1mol% of Pd (dba) 2 and 1mol% in the presence of 2equiv of K2CO3 in DMAc has proven to be highly efficient for the coupling of a wide array of aryl bromides and iodides with acrylates in excellent yield. The coupling of 4-bromotoluene ...
