N,N-Bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)dihydroimidazolium chloride with palladium(l
i) acetate (2 mol %) was used as catalyst, without added base, to efficient
ly cross couple aryl, vinyl, and alkyl boronates and boronic acids with ary
ldiazonium tetrafluoroborate substrates. The reactions were performed at 0
degreesC or rt, giving product in 2 to 4 h with 80 to 90% yields for isolat
ed materials. Diazonium ions, formed in situ, also cross couple under these
conditions.
