Abstract

Abstract N-4, 6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinylimidazole 1 and its hydroxyethyl derivative 1-(2- hydroxyethyl)-3-(4, 6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl) imidazolium chloride 2 have been synthesized and characterized. The attempted synthesis of bis (N-heterocyclic carbene) palladium complexes via the direct reaction of 2 with Pd (OAc) 2 results in the unexpected formation of a bis (N-arylimidazole) palladium complex 3. Additionally, the analogous bis (N- ...
