Synthesis, characterization of palladium hydroxysalen complex and its application in the coupling reaction of arylboronic acids: Mizoroki-Heck type reaction and decarboxylative couplings

► The palladium complex, (salen-OH)Pd was prepared easily by one step reaction. ► The palladium complex (2 mol%) afforded the Mizoroki-Heck type coupled products ► The palladium complex (1 mol%) afforded the decarboxylative couple products.
