Abstract
A new, improved synthesis of [Pd{CN(Bu-t)(CH)(2)N(Bu-t)}(2)] (1) and its us e as a catalyst in coupling reactions, including aminations, is presented. An interesting side product formed in the synthesis of 1, [Pd(eta (3)-C4H7) (CN(Bu-t)(CH)(2)N(Bu-t)}Cl] (2), is also discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scie nce B.V. All rights reserved.
