[(N-Heterocyclic carbene)Pd(ferrocenyl-allyl)Cl] II was prepared easily in good yield by simple addition of THF solution of 1, 3-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) imidazolium chloride (IPrHCl) to chloride-bridged ferrocenyl-allyl-Pd dimer I at room temperature. The one-pot synthesis avoids multi-step reactions employing free carbene. Complex II was characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and HRMS. Additionally, the detailed structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Complex II was stable to air and moisture, and displayed high catalytic activities for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of a variety of aryl chlorides with aryl boronic acids with catalyst loadings of 0.4 mol % at 70 oC, and the Buchwald-Hartwig amination of chlorobenzene with various amines in the presence of 0.5 mol% complex II at 100 oC.
