Abstract
Two unsymmetrical PCN pincer Pd(II) complexes 3a– 3b which are based on (pyrazolyl)aryl phosphinite ligands and contain two fused six-membered palladacycles have been synthesized from 3-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)benzyl alcohol ( 2) by one-pot phosphorylation/palladation reaction via C–H bond activation of the related ligands. The pyrazole-coordinated phosphine-free Pd(II) complex ( 4) was also isolated in the preparation of pincer complex 3a. The new complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P { 1H} NMR (for pincer complexes) and IR spectra. And the molecular structures of 3b and 4 have been further determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The pincer Pd complexes 3a and 3b exhibited rather low activity in the allylation of benzaldehyde.
