Palladium‐Pincer Complexes in CH Bond Activation

Abstract

Palladium‐pincer complexes containing monoanionic, tridentate pincer ligand have evolved as a privileged synthetic tool that can be applied in different fields of research including material science and synthetic organic chemistry such as cross‐coupling, hydrophosphination, and allylation reaction. Among them, CH bond activation is one of the most efficient, convenient, and greener approach due to its ability to perform corresponding functionalization from easily available and naturally abundant feedstock. However, number of the reports solely highlighting the application of Pd‐pincer complexes in CH activation is very less. In this article, we have discussed the synthesis of Pd‐pincer complexes via CH bond activation followed by their useful application in the field of CH bond activation.
