Treatment of [PdCl2(PhCN)2] with diaryl telluride in 1 : 2 molar ratio gave mononuclear palladium complexes, trans-[PdCl2(TeR2)2] () (R = Mes () (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), Ph (), o-tol () (o-tol = ortho-tolyl)). Reaction of [PdCl2(TeMes2)2] with one equivalent of [PdCl2(PhCN)2] or Na2PdCl4 with TeRR' afforded chloro-bridged binuclear complexes, [Pd2(μ-Cl)2Cl2(TeRR')2] () (R/R' = Mes/Mes ();...

1H NMR spectroscopy was used to monitor the reactions of an arylidene 2-thiohydantoin derivative, 3-((phenylmethylene)amino)-2-thioxo-4- imidazolidinone (3), with PdCl2, cis-[PdCl2(dmso-S)2] and K2[PdCl4] in DMSO-d6 order elucidate reaction kinetics mechanism. The derivative 3 formed cis-[Pd(3-N,S)(dmso-S)2]+ complex (5) PdCl2 cis-[PdCl2(dmso-S)2], while no observed. A two-step mechanism for ci...

The dithioester (CH2)4NCS2CH3 (PyDTM, 1-pyrrolidinecarbodithioate methyl ester) has been prepared by reaction of the parent ammonium salt NH4PyDT ðPyDT 1⁄4 ðCH2Þ4NCS 2 Þ with methyl iodide in water/ethanol. The reaction of PyDTM with PdCl2 allowed to synthesize either [PdCl2(PyDTM)], in which the ligand is chelated by both sulfur atoms, or [PdCl2(PyDTM)2], in which the ligand acts as monodentat...

The effects of the planar aromatic organic molecules anthracene and pyrene on the catalytic performance of the intramolecular hydrogen evolving photocatalyst [Ru(tbbpy)2(tpphz)PdCl2](PF6)2 functioning as a photocatalytic dyad have been studied. (1)H-NMR studies on [Ru(tbbpy)2(tpphz)PdCl2](PF6)2 and [Ru(tbbpy)2(tpphz)](PF6)2 show a pronounced interaction of pyrene with the ruthenium complexes du...

Heck arylation of 2,3-dihydrofuran with iodobenzene was carried out in systems consisting of different palladium precursors (Pd2(dba)3, Pd(acac)2, PdCl2(cod), [PdCl(allyl)]2, PdCl2(PhCN)2, PdCl2(PPh3)2) and ionic liquids (CILs) with L-prolinate or L-lactate anions. All the tested CILs caused remarkable increases of the conversion values and in all of the reactions 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrofuran (3) ...

A reaction between equimolar amounts of cis-[PdCl2(CNCy)2] (1) and indazole (HInd, 2) or 5-methylindazole (HInd(Me), 3) proceeded in refluxing CHCl3 for ca. 6 h affording the aminocarbene species cis-[PdCl2{C(Ind)=N(H)Cy}(CNCy)] (4) or cis-[PdCl2{C(Ind(Me))=N(H)Cy}(CNCy)] (5) in good (72-83%) isolated yields. Complexes 4 and 5 were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N), HR ESI(+)-MS, IR...

This paper presents the results of detailed studies possibility using Lewis acid AlCl3as a promoter catalytic three-component system PdCl2(PPh3)2–PPh3–AlCl3in hydroethoxycarbonylation reaction cyclohexene at low carbon monoxide pressures (2.5 MPa). As result high activity was established and proceeds regioselectively with formation ethyl ether cyclohexanecarboxylic acid. The optimal conditions ...

The unsymmetrical α-di-imine ligand N-{2-[2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)phenylimino]pentan-3-yl-idene}-2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)aniline, [ArN=C(Me)-(Et)C=NAr] [Ar = 2,6-(iPr)2C6H3], (I), and the corresponding palladium complex, cis-(N-{2-[2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)phenylimino]pentan-3-yl-idene}-2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)aniline)di-chlor-ido-palladium(II) 1,2-di-chloro-ethane monosolvate, [PdCl2(C29H42N2)]·C2H4Cl2 or ...

A straightforward methodology for the high-yielding synthesis of the di-functionalised phosphines {Ph2P(CH2)2NC4H8E, E = NMe (1), O (2), S (3)}via base-catalysed Michael addition is described. Reaction of the functionalised tertiary phosphines 1-3 with PdCl2(MeCN)2 affords complexes in which the ligands are bound in a tridentate fashion, namely [PdCl(kappa3-PNE)]Cl (6a, 8) as the predominant pr...

A simple method has been developed for the reductive deoxygenation of aromatic ketones and benzylic alcohols in the presence of polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS). The reductive deoxygenation of aromatic ketones and benzylic alcohols, including secondary alcohols, to the corresponding methylene hydrocarbons has been achieved in good to excellent yields using palladium chloride (PdCl2) as catalyst a...
