Palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of aryl sulfamates with arylboronic acids

Abstract

Readily available NHC–Pd(II)–Mp complexes 2 showed efficient catalytic activity toward the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of aryl sulfamates with arylboronic acids or potassium phenyltrifluoroborate, giving the expected coupling products in good to high yields. It should be noted that this is the first example so far of the phosphine-free, NHC–Pd(II) complexes catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of aryl sulfamates with arylboronic acids.
