Abstract

In an improved procedure, the complex {2, 6-bis [(diphenylphosphino) methyl] benzene} chloropalladium (II)(1) was synthesised as its THF adduct and the structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. The catalytic properties of the derivative {2, 6-bis [(diphenylphosphino) methyl] benzene}(trifluoroacetato) palladium (II)(2) was investigated in the Stille reaction. Complex 2 proves to be an excellent catalyst for the C–C cross- ...
