Efficient catalysis of Suzuki-Miyaura CC coupling reactions with palladium(II) complexes of partially hydrolyzed bisimine ligands: A process important in environment context

- Syntheses of hexadentate chalcogenated (S/Se/Te) bisimine ligands.
- Reactions with Pd(II) resulted in their metal promoted partial hydrolysis to 1-[C(CH3)N(CH2)2EAr]-3-[C(CH3)O]-4,6-[OH]2C6H2 and ArE(CH2)2NH2.
- Isolation and characterization of Pd(II) complexes of products of hydrolysis.
- Exploration of catalytic potential of Pd(II) complexes for Suzuki coupling.
- Highest catalytic efficiency of complex of Se based ligand which shows activity for coupling aryl chlorides.
