Abstract
A series of [Pd(NHC)(acac)Cl] (NHC = Nheterocyclic carbene) complexes have been synthesized and characterized to investigate the electronic and steric effects of NHC ligands in catalysis. Their reactivity in Buchwald−Hartwig coupling has been explored and compared with that of their nonmethoxylated congeners. Combining the optimal steric and electronic properties, [Pd(IHeptOMe)(acac)Cl] performed excellently in the palladium-catalyzed amination of deactivated aryl chlorides with various anilines.
