Abstract
Reaction of 1-mesityl imidazole with 2-bromo-4,4-dimethyloxazoline gave the 2-(4,4-dimethyl)oxazolinyl imidazolium salt 1, which was converted to the silver N-heterocyclic carbene complex [AgI(carbene)Br] 2 by stirring 1 with Ag2O in dichloromethane at room temperature. The crystal structure analysis confirmed the monomeric nature of complex 2, the coordination around the metal being quasi-linear with a C(1)−Ag−Br bond angle of 169.4(1)° and a Ag−C(1) bond length of 2.093(4) A. The silver complex 2 was reacted with [PdCl2(COD)] to yield the corresponding mono-carbene-palladium complex 3, for which an X-ray diffraction study established a distorted square planar configuration with the imidazolyl and the oxazolinyl ring lying in the molecular plane. The palladium complex 3 was found to be an active catalyst for the Heck and Suzuki C−C coupling reactions. The coupling of activated or deactivated bromoarenes proceeded rapidly even with a low catalyst loading (0.02 mol %), while the reaction with activated chl...
