Palladium N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes: Synthesis from Benzimidazolium Salts and Catalytic Activity in Carbon-carbon Bond-forming Reactions
Published on: July 30, 2017
N,N'-Bis(4-bromo-benzyl-idene)-2,2-dimethyl-propane-1,3-diamine
Abstract:
The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(19)H(20)Br(2)N(2), is a potential bidentate Schiff base ligand. The two benzene rings are inclined at a dihedral angle of 30.85 (8)°. An inter-esting feature of the crystal structure is a weak inter-molecular Br⋯Br [3.4752 (4) Å] inter-action which is shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of the Br atoms and links neighbouring mol-ecules into chains along the c axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
