Abstract
Naphthalenomethyl-substituted imidazolidinium salts (1a-g) were prepared and characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR, and elemental analysis techniques. The in situ prepared three component systems naphthalenomethyl-substituted imidazolidinium salts, Pd(OAc)2, and K2CO3 catalyzed quantitatively the Mizoroki–Heck and Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of aryl halides under mild conditions in aqueous media.
