Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Catalytic Application of Ferrocenyl Based Bis(pyrazolyl) Palladium Complexes.

Abstract

Here we report, synthesis of ferrocenyl based bis(pyrazolyl) palladium complexes. The catalytic utility of the complexes in the cross-coupling of triarylbismuthanes and aryl bromides was evaluated. Our ferrocenyl based palladium complex showed wide substrate scope for both triarylbismuthanes and aryl bromides. Further, the current catalytic system also showed superior activity over the well-established palladium-phosphine catalytic system using triarylbismuthanes as reagents.
