Abstract

The air and moisture stable tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy3) adducts of dimeric cyclopalladated ferrocenylimines 5 and 6 have been easily synthesized and successfully used in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling of aryl chlorides. Using 0.1 mol% of 6 in the presence of 2 equivalent of Cs2CO3 as base in dioxane at 100° C provided coupled products in excellent yields in the reaction of non-activated and deactivated aryl chlorides ...
