Abstract
A highly efficient catalyst system for the room-temperature Suzuki coupling of hindered and unhindered, activated and deactivated aryl chlorides and aryl boronic acids was developed. It is anticipated that other metal-catalyzed reactions will benefit from ligands with flexible steric bulk.
