| Summary: | A novel non-C<sub>2</sub>-symmetric <i>bis</i>-benzimidazolium salt derived from (±)-valinol has been prepared by a simple and straightforward process in good yield. The structure of <i>bis</i>-benzimidazolium salt provided a bulky steric group on the ethylene bridge; which facilitates the catalytic efficacy in the C(<i>sp</i><sup>2</sup>)–C(<i>sp</i><sup>2</sup>) formation. Its catalytic activity in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of unactivated aryl chlorides has been found to have high efficacy in 1 mol% Pd loading. This protocol demonstrated the potential on the synthesis of sterically hindered biaryls. |
