Abstract

Abstract The use of [Pd (NHC)(cinnamyl) Cl] precatalysts in the direct arylation of heterocycles has been investigated. Among four different precatalysts,[Pd (SIPr)(cinnamyl) Cl] proved to be the most efficient promoter of the reaction. The C–H functionalization of sulfur-or nitrogen-containing heterocycles has been achieved at low catalyst loadings. These catalyst charges range from 0.1 to 0.01 mol% palladium.
