A Zwitterionic Palladium(II) Complex as a Precatalyst for Neat-Water-Mediated Cross-Coupling Reactions of Heteroaryl, Benzyl, and Aryl Acid Chlorides with Organoboron Reagents
A zwitterionic palladium(II) complex has been found to be an efficient catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions of aryl and heteroaryl organoboron reagents with various heteroaryl chlorides, aryl‐ and heteroarylmethyl chlorides, and aryl acid chlorides in neat water.
