Abstract

This study describes the efficacy of P,N-type benzimidazolyl phosphine ligands, which can be easily synthesized from commercially available and inexpensive starting materials. The application of this ligand array in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of aryl chlorides with potassium aryltrifluoroborates is described. The air stable benzimidazolyl phosphines in combination with a palladium metal precursor provides highly effective catalysts for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of unactivated aryl chlorides and can achieve a catalyst loading of only 0.05 mol %.
