Palladium salicylaldimine complexes derived from 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde
摘要:
Schiff bases derived from condensation of 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde with various primary amines, such as 1-adamantanamine hydrochloride, 2,6-dimethylaniline, 2,6-diethylaniline and 2,6-diisopropylaniline, react with palladium(II) acetate to give the corresponding bis(N-arylsalicylaldiminato)palladium(II) complexes. These complexes have been found to be active catalyst precursors for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl bromides and iodides with aryl boronic acids using water as a solvent.

Palladium complexes with a salicylaldiminato ligand bearing a hydroxyl group (1a and 1b) have been synthesized and characterized. The structures of these complexes were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. A reversible deprotonation/protonation of the hydroxyl moiety on 1b was observed, while such behaviour was impossible with a related palladium complex (1c) bearing a methoxyl group in place of the hydroxyl group. The deprotonation affected its catalytic behaviour: the activity for polymerization of methyl acrylate catalyzed by 1b considerably decreased in the presence of 1 equiv. of (BuOK)-Bu-t.
