A series of carbene adducts of cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine were prepared and evaluated in the cross‐coupling reaction of aryl halides with Grignard reagents (the Kumada reaction). Complex d exhibited high catalytic activity for the coupling of aryl chlorides with sterically hindered Grignard reagents and the reaction tolerated various functional groups. A wide range of biaryls were efficiently obtained in good to excellent yields in the presence of 0.5 mol‐% catalyst under mild reaction conditions.
