Ferrocenylimidazoline palladacycles: Syntheses, crystal structures and applications as catalysts for Suzuki cross coupling reaction in water

Efficient catalytic activation of Suzuki–Miyaura C–C coupling reactions with recyclable palladium nanoparticles tailored with sterically demanding di-n-alkyl sulfides

“…Therefore, phosphorus, carbene, oxime and several other ligands have been used to design molecular complexes of palladium, which are suitable as efficient catalysts for SMC. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Generally, these complexes do not catalyze the coupling but act as dispensers of real palladium(0) containing catalytic species (via nano-sized palladium 13 if formed in the course of catalysis). When palladium NPs are used as catalysts for this coupling reaction, their surface area and morphology are important considerations for catalytic performance.…”

The Synthesis of Some Perhydrobenzimidazolinium Salts and Their Application in Pd-Carbene Catalyzed Heck and Suzuki Reactions

“…The use of water as a solvent for chemical reactions clearly has both economical and environmental advantages because it is inexpensive, abundant, nontoxic, nonflammable and readily separable from organic compounds [ 18 ]. There have been a number of reports of the palladium-mediated Heck and Suzuki reaction being performed using water as solvent [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Due to the large number of Suzuki and other coupling reactions that are carried out in aqueous [ 19 ] or biphasic systems, there has been an increased interest in the development of water-soluble ligands for these reactions.…”

Synthesis, characterization and anticancer activity of new palladacycles derived from chiral α‐diimines

“…Nowadays, there is a growing interest in the synthesis, reactivity and applications of organometallic complexes with interesting ligands, and an important area of organometallic chemistry is that of cyclopalladated compounds 1–6. Such longstanding interest in these compounds stems from their widespread utilities, ranging from potential new applications in organic chemistry, such as catalysts,7–19 and as antitumor drugs,20–25 and the usual efforts in understanding fundamental chemistry. Among the cyclometallated complexes described, those derived from optically pure ligands26–41 have attracted additional interest, since they can be used for the resolution of mono‐ or bidentate ligands as well as in chiral discrimination processes.…”
