Influence of the structure of benzylaminate C,N-palladacycles on their catalytic activity in the Suzuki—Miyaura reaction.

Benzylaminate C,N-palladacycles exhibit high catalytic activity in the Suzuki—Miyaura cross–coupling of p-bromoanisole with phenylboronic acid under mild conditions. The influence of the α-substituent and the environment of the nitrogen atom in azapalladacycles on their efficiency as catalysts was assessed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
