N-Heterocyclic carbene adducts of cyclopalladated ferrocenylimines: Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity for the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction
摘要:
A series of novel air-stable carbene adducts of cyclopalladated ferrocenylimines have been synthesized and characterized. The structures of these complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. These adducts have been successfully applied to the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction under aerobic conditions. Good to excellent yields were obtained in short reaction times with a lower loading of the catalyst. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
