Abstract

An efficient synthetic route for well-defined palladium (0) complexes [Pd (η2-dba)(PPh3) 2](2),[Pd (η2-dba)(PCy3) 2](3) and their crystallographic structures is reported. This is the first crystallographic characterization of palladium complexes coordinated with one dibenzylideneacetone and two phosphines. A highly effective, fully controlled method for selective synthesis of mono-(5–9) and distyrylarenes (10–15) via Suzuki–Miyaura ...
