In an improved procedure, the complex {2,6-bis[(diphenylphosphino)methyl] benzene}chloropalladium(II) (1) was synthesised as its THF adduct and the structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. The catalytic properties of the derivative {2,6-bis[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]benzene}(trmuoroacetato) palladium(II) (2) was investigated in the Stille reaction. Complex 2 proves to be an excellent catalyst for the C-C cross-coupling between trimethyl phenyl stannane and aryl bromides using a very low catalyst loading (0.1-0.0001%), giving high turnover numbers (TONs) up to 6.9 × 105. A kinetic investigation of the catalytic reaction suggests a heterogeneous colloidal palladium catalyst formed from the PCP Pd(II) pre-catalyst. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.
