Palladium-catalyzed Heck couplings utilizing [Pd{C 6 H 2 (CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 )-(OMe) 2 ,3,4} (µ-Br)] 2 palladacycle catalyst and microwave irradiation lead to formation of different coupling products. This complex is an active and efficient catalyst for the Heck reaction of aryl iodides, bromides and even less reactive chlorides. The cross-coupled products were produced in excellent yields. The reaction time was reduced from hours to minutes and full conversion was achieved under microwave irradiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
