Significance

An oxime-derived palladacycle in combination with tetrabutylammonium bromide has been successfully applied to cross-coupling reactions of aryltrifluoroborates with (hetero)aryl, allyl and benzyl chlorides in aqueous media. Hereby, very low catalyst loadings proved sufficient for the reaction to proceed.
