Abstract

1-(2-Iodophenyl)-1H-tetrazole 2 was synthesized by the reaction of 2-iodoaniline, sodium azide and triethyl orthoformate in acetic acid. The newly synthesized ligand 2 was successfully used in Heck reaction to give the cross-coupled products in excellent yields. ... An active catalyst for Heck reaction by combination of Pd(OAc) 2 with the new ligand, 1-(2-iodophenyl)-1H-Tetrazole (2), was developed. ... In view of the optimization of the reaction conditions, we have ...
