Synthesis and characterization of a polymer-anchored palladium (II) Schiff base complex and its catalytic efficiency in phosphine-free Sonogashira coupling reactions
Abstract A polymer-anchored Pd (II) Schiff base complex has been synthesized by reacting a polymeric amine with 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde to get the polymer-anchored Schiff base, which was then reacted with palladium acetate. The catalyst was characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. It shows excellent catalytic activity in the Sonogashira coupling of phenylacetylene with aryl halides using triethylamine as a base ...
