Well-defined, air-stable (NHC)Pd(Allyl)Cl (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) catalysts for the arylation of ketones.
A number of palladium-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes were found to be active catalysts for the arylation of ketones. A large number of substrates, both aryl halides and ketones, are compatible with the reaction conditions. The ketone arylation reactions are achieved with low catalyst loading in short reaction times using aryl chlorides and triflates as reactive partners. [reaction: see text]
