Abstract

A new class of easily accessible indolyl phosphine ligands provides high potential of steric and electronic tunability. The air-stable indolyl phosphines in combination with a palladium metal precursor are effective catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of unactivated aryl chlorides, and a catalyst loading down to 0.02 mol % can be achieved.
