Design and synthesis of a novel family of furancarbothioamide-based palladacycles are reported herein. These palladacycles are thermally stable, not sensitive to air or moisture, and are applied effectively in the Heck reaction of aryl halides with terminal olefins and in the Suzuki reaction of aryl halides with arylboronic acids. These reactions were performed under aerobic conditions, leading to turnover numbers (TONs) up to 1 × 105.
