title: Synthesis of (NHC)Pd(salicylaldimine)Cl complexes through template-directed ortho-aromatic metaloxylation of NHC-palladacycles derived from arylimines.
abstract: Reactions of imidazoliums with palladacycles afforded NHC-palladacycle complexes. The reactivity of the NHC-palladacycles was explored and the results demonstrated that they could be template-directed ortho-aromatic metaloxylated in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), affording (NHC)Pd(salicylaldimine)Cl complexes. Furthermore, the NHC-palladacycles showed efficient catalytic activities toward the ortho-aromatic hydroxylation of arylimines.
