title: A new insight into ortho-(dimesitylboryl)diphenylphosphines: applications in Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura couplings and evidence for secondary π-interaction.
abstract: ortho-(Dimesitylboryl)phenylphosphines 1 and 2 were applied in Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura C-C couplings. Coordination studies were performed in order to rationalize the relationship between structure and reactivity. Full characterization of a Pd(0) complex derived from 1 has evidenced a new coordination mode for phosphine-arylboranes involving secondary π-interaction between one of the mesityl groups at boron and the metal centre.
