Air-stable Imidazole-Imine Palladium Complexes for Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling: Toward an Efficient, Green Synthesis of Biaryl Compounds

New imidazole-imine ligands have been developed for the air and moisture stable Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Under optimized reaction conditions, coupling products from a wide range of aryl halides and aryl boronic acids were obtained in excellent yields.
