The salts were characterized spectroscopically and the complexes formed in situ from Pd(OAc)2 and 3 have been tested as catalysts in homogenous Heck and Suzuki reactions. %K Heck and Suzuki reactions %K perhydrobenzimidazolinium salt %K palladium %K carbene %K catalyst %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/14/6/2032
