Abstract
From two commercially available starting materials, improved one-step, multigram-scale syntheses of [(IPr)Pd(acac)Cl] [IPr=N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; acac=acetylacetonate] and [(IMes)Pd(acac)Cl] [IMes = N,]Vbis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene] are described. The catalytic activity of both complexes in cross-coupling reactions has been examined. The most active pre-catalyst, [(IPr)Pd(acac)Cl], has allowed for efficient large-scale (10 mmol) Buch-wald-Hartwig and a-ketone arylation reactions to be carried out.
