Anchored Palladium Complex‐Generated Clusters on Zirconia: Efficiency in Reductive
<i>N</i>
‐Alkylation of Amines with Carbonyl Compounds under Hydrogen Atmosphere
generation method of palladium clusters and catalytic reductive N-alkylation of amines with carbonyl compounds are reported. The active Pd species are formed by treatment of highly dispersed molecular palladiumcomplexes with atmospheric hydrogen, and the present catalyst system shows a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance with respect to both amines and carbonyl compounds.
