title: Room-temperature activation of aryl chlorides in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling using a [Pd(micro-Cl)Cl(NHC)]2 complex (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene).
abstract: A straightforwardly synthesised complex, [Pd(micro-Cl)Cl(NHC)](2) (NHC = bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene, IPr), has been employed to mediate Suzuki-Miyaura reactions involving aryl chlorides at very low catalyst loadings and at room temperature.
