Abstract The synthesis of new N, N-bidentate ligands based on a π-deficient N-heterocyclic benzhydrylamine core is described. The corresponding air-stable palladium complexes are obtained in high yields and fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structure determination. These new phosphane-free catalytic systems proved efficient in the Suzuki– Miyaura reaction, enabling us to obtain biaryl products in good yields, also for reactions ...
