The crystal structure of trans-dichlorobis[1,3-bis(4-methylbenzyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidend- palladium(II) was presented. Pd(II) complexes 1a-d were tested as catalysts in the direct C5 or C2 arylation of furans, thiophenes, and thiazoles, with various aryl bromides at 150 degrees C for 1 h. These complexes exhibited moderate to high catalytic activities under the given conditions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessN-Heterocyclic-CarbeneC-H FunctionalizationCross-Coupling ReactionsDirect C-2 ArylationBond FormationAryl HalidesRoom-TemperatureAzolesEfficientChloridesArticle34112487249310.1021/om501201r2-s2.0-84935870521Q1WOS:000356841800051Q1
