We report the synthesis of two palladium 2-(dialkylphosphino)imidazole complexes and demonstrate their activity as catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura reactions with (hetero)aryl chlorides at room temperature. Our mechanistic studies demonstrate that these palladium complexes exist as an equilibrium mixture between the P-N coordinated and N-H NHC forms of ligand. Our studies suggest that the N-H NHC form may be important for high catalytic activity in Suzuki-Miyaura reactions with aryl chlorides. These reactions proceed at or near room temperature in good to excellent yields. Heteroaryl chlorides are also reactive at lower catalyst loadings.
