Abstract
A nonsymmetric phosphorus ylide and its palladium(II) complex have been synthesized as potential catalytically active compounds. The reaction of 1 equiv nonsymmetric phosphorus ylide, Ph2PCH2PPh2C(H)C(O)PhBr with [Pd(dppe)Cl2], followed by treatment with 2 equiv AgOTf led to [(dppe)Pd(Ph2PCH2PPh2C(H)C(O)PhBr)](OSO2CF3)2, which contains a five-membered P,P chelate ring on one side and a five-membered P,C chelate ring on the other side. The palladium complex was synthesized and investigated by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV–visible, multinuclear (1H, 31P and 19F) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electrospray ionisation-mass spectroscopic techniques. FT-IR and 31P NMR studies revealed that the phosphorus ylide is coordinated to palladium via the terminal phosphorus (Pc) of the ylide and methene group (CH). Suzuki reactions for varying aryl halides using the cyclopalladated complex as an efficient catalyst were performed. Various aryl halides were coupled with arylboronic acids in DMF, under air, in the presence of 0.001 mol% of the homogeneous catalyst to afford the corresponding cross-coupled products in good to excellent yields.
