Ditopic double pincer palladacycle catalyst for C-C coupling.
A ditopic palladacycle with SCS pincer coordination, L(PdCl)(2) (1), was isolated and structurally characterized and represents the first example of a transition metal complex with a polythioamide-based macrocycle. Preliminary studies of 1 in the catalytic coupling of 4-iodotoluene and styrene indicated it to be robust in the presence of oxygen and high temperatures, with high turnover numbers in relatively short times.
