Fig. 2.14 Synthesis of the P N ligands 10a , b as well as of the corresponding palladium com-
plexes 11a-d (see text for 11c ).
plexes consist of a pyridine and a bis(2-methyl)phenyl substituted phosphane
( 10a ) and of an imine and a diphenylphosphane unit ( 10b ) [43]. The correspond-
ing palladium complexes are used to examine their catalytic properties (Fig. 2.14).
2.4.1
Synthesis and Characterization
The P N ligands 10a , b as well as the corresponding palladium complexes were
synthesized as depicted in Fig. 2.14. Treatment of 2-(chloromethyl)pyridine with
one equivalent of bis(2-methylphenyl)phosphane in the presence of potassium
tert -butylate yielded ligand 10a which was directly converted into the palladium
diiodide complex 11b . Purification of 11b was achieved by column chromatogra-
phy on silica.
The free ligand 10a was regenerated by treating 11b with an access of potas-
sium cyanide. Reaction of 10a with CODPdClMe afforded the chloromethyl palla-
dium complex 11a . In square planar P N chloromethyl palladium complexes two
