A novel water-soluble NHC-Pd polymer: an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the Suzuki coupling of aryl chlorides in water at room temperature.

A novel water-soluble NHC-Pd polymer with triethylene glycol legs was developed as a water soluble and highly recyclable catalyst that shows high catalytic activity in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl chlorides in high yields in water at room temperature.
