Suzuki-Miyaura and Heck-Mizoroki C-C
cross-coupling reactions of 4-(halophenyl)-1,3-thiazoles with aryl(hetaryl)boronic
acids or olefins, respectively, were investigated by using a catalytically
active benzimidazole-based palladium(II) complex under both thermal
and microwave heating conditions in water. The factors affecting
the optimization of such reactions were evaluated.
