Abstract
The catalytic activity of a series of heteroaryl coordinated chelating N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) palladium complexes bearing different N-substituents, NHC backbones and chelating rings towards the phosphorylation of coumarins, and the relationship between the activity and the structure are presented. The results showed that the chelating NHC palladium complex Ia–b bearing the most σ-donating backbone and a more rigid five-membered chelating ring showed the highest efficiency. Using AgNO3 as oxidant, a wide range of coumarins reacted with different dialkyl phosphite or diphenylphosphine oxide smoothly in CH3CN, producing the target product in moderate to high yields.
