Abstract

Chiral acyclic diaminocarbene (ADC) ligands were built featuring the 2-alkylpyrrolidine subunit, and the carbenes have been ligated to palladium and rhodium centers. Structural features were investigated through X-ray analysis including the steric parameter,% V Bur, and the catalytic performance was tested in the Suzuki reaction and 1, 2 addition of 1- naphthylboronic acid to o-anisaldehyde.
