Abstract
The synthesis and catalytic activity of pyridine-fused triazolylidene as a novel abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene (aNHC) ligand is described. The evaluation of physical properties using X-ray crystallographic analysis and infrared spectroscopy revealed that these triazolylidenes have a high electron-donating ability toward the metal center. The application of this triazolylidene to the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of chloroarenes and nitroarenes with arylboronic acids showcased its ability to activate C–Cl and C–NO2 bonds.
