Significance

Organic-inorganic hybrid materials M1-M3 were prepared from monosilylated imidazolium 2 and disilylated dihydroimidazolium 5 salts with NaBF4 and CMICl under acidic conditions. Mixtures of Pd(OAc)2 and these hybrid materials were found to efficiently promote the Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of aryl bromides. Thus, a mixture of Pd(OAc)2 and M1-M3 catalyzed the coupling of phenylboronic acid 6 with 4-bromoacetophenone 7, 4-bromoanisole 9 and 4-chloro-acetophenone 11 to give the corresponding biaryls 8 (34-100% yield) and 10 (33-100% yield).
