Abstract

Three bimetallic palladium (II) complexes were generated by cyclopalladation of N-methyl-N- phenylbenzamide derivatives, substrates known to undergo oxidative intramolecular cross- coupling via palladium catalysis. These isolable Pd-complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography. Stoichiometric and catalytic experiments with [(3-methoxy-N-methyl-N- phenylbenzamide) Pd (μ-TFA)] 2 were investigated, and this palladium complex was ...
