Abstract

A new palladium(II) precatalyst for Suzuki cross-coupling of aryl halides and organoboronic acids has been identified, namely bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II)succinimide [(Ph3P)(2)Pd(N-Succ)(2)] 2. The precatalyst is easily prepared from palladium(O) precursors, such as (Ph3P)(4)Pd or Pd(2)dba(3). CHCl3/Ph3P and succinimide, is air, light and moisture stable, and may be employed with a variety of substrates to give the cross-coupled products, in good yields and in reasonable time, at relatively low catalyst loadings.
