ChemInform Abstract: (NHC)Palladium Complexes from Hydroxy-Functionalized Imidazolium Salts as Catalyst for the Microwave-Accelerated Fluorine-Free Hiyama Reaction

Catalyst (I), readily available from the imidazolium salt and Pd(O-Ac)2, is isolated as an air-stable greyish solid, which exists in solution at room temperature as a mixture of diastereomers.
