Palladium N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes: Synthesis from Benzimidazolium Salts and Catalytic Activity in Carbon-carbon Bond-forming Reactions
Published on: July 30, 2017
Abstract:
In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(12)H(15)BrN(4)O(2), the imidazole and pyridine rings are strictly coplanar [maximum deviation 0.006 (3) Å]. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into chains running parallel to the a axis by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Centrosymmetrically related chains are further connected by N-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions to form a two-dimensional layer structure parallel to the ab plane.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
