Evaluation of catalytic properties of aminocarbene species derived from the integration between 3-iminoisoindolin-1-ones and palladium-bound isonitriles in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling

► Palladium complexes with chelating aminocarbene ligands. ► Excellent catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl-bromides and iodides. ► Mild and green catalytic conditions (non-dried EtOH as an environmentally benign solvent, K2CO3 as a base, under air).
