N,N′-bis(2-pyridinecarboxamide)-1,2-benzene palladium complex as a new efficient catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction under phosphane free conditions

Abstract

In this article, palladium complex of N,N′-bis(2-pyridinecarboxamide)-1,2-benzene has been introduced as a new catalyst for the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction of aryl halides in water. The catalyst is easily prepared from the reaction of Pd(OAc)2 and N,N′-bis(2-pyridinecarboxamide)-1,2-benzene ligand and has been characterized using 1H NMR, TGA, FT-IR, solid and liquid UV–Vis spectroscopy.
