Abstract:
Preparations of novel unsymmetrical, tridentate nitrogen ligand precursors, PhN=C(CMe2)(NPh)C=N(CH2)2NMe2(1) and PhN=C(CMe2)(NPh)C=N(CH2)Py (2), are described. Treatment of 1 with 1 molar equiv. (COD)PdCl2 in the presence of NEt3 or with 1 molar equiv. Pd(OAc)2 affords orthometallated palladium(II) complexes, [PhN=C(CMe2)(N-eta1-Ph)C=N(CH2)2NMe2]PdX (X=Cl (3); X=OAc (4)), respectively. Compound can be yielded via the reaction of with an excess of LiCl in methanol. Treatment of with 1 molar equiv. of (COD)PdCl2, Pd(OAc)2 or Pd(TFA)2 affords orthometallated palladium(II) complexes, [PhN=C(CMe2)(N-eta1-Ph)C=NCH2Py]PdX (X=Cl (5); X=OAc (6); X=TFA (7)), respectively. The crystal and molecular structures are reported for compounds 2, 3, 5 and 6. The application of these novel palladacyclic complexes to the Heck reaction with aryl halide substrates was examined.
