A new recyclable/reusable ionic liquid/LiCl system for Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling reactions

Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling reactions of aryl halides with aryl boronic acids were carried out in basic ionic liquids in the presence of lithium chloride as a promoter. The coupling reactions, carried out in the absence of base and ligand, proceed in good to excellent yields with easy product isolation and catalyst recycle.
