The desired coupling products were obtained in moderate to good yields by using 1 mol % of these air-stable palladium complexes. This is an advantage compared to the procedures employing air-sensitive phosphines, which have been previously shown to promote the coupling of aryl chlorides with heteroarenes. %K aryl chlorides %K atom-economy %K C¨CH bond activation %K C¨CH functionalization %K carbenes %K palladium %K pyrroles %U http://dx.doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.9.35
