Abstract

A palladacycle phosphine mono-ylide complex is as an efficient catalyst for the Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reaction of aromatic or aliphatic olefins with a broad range of aryl bromides and chlorides. The reactions proceeded in good yields in the presence of low loadings of palladium (10 ppm) under aerobic conditions. High catalyst activities with turnover frequencies of up to 20,000 h-1 were observed at 130°C.
