Xj. Gai et al., Pyrazole and benzothiazole palladacycles: stable and efficient catalysts for carbon-carbon bond formation, CHEM COMMUN, (20), 2000, pp. 2053-2054
Cyclopalladated phosphine free pyrazole complexes 1 and benzothiazole compl
exes 2 are excellent catalysts for the Heck vinylation of aryl iodides and
termolecular queuing cascades, leading to turnover numbers of > 10(6) in so
me cases, at moderate temperatures; these catalysts show high thermal stabi
lity and are not sensitive to moisture and air.
