A new dimeric bidentated NHC-Pd(II) complex from trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine for Suzuki reaction and Heck reaction

A new dimeric bidentated NHC-Pd(II) complex was synthesized from trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine and its structure was characterized by MALDI Mass spectrum. This NHC-Pd(II) complex was fairly effective in Suzuki and Heck reactions to give the products in good to excellent yields in most cases. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
