Title:
Bis[N,N′-(2-indanolyl)]-1,5-diazacyclooctane as Unique Metal Ligand: Self-Assembly of Palladium Nanoparticles and Catalytic Reactivity on C–C Bond Formation
Description:
<jats:p>A previously unreported 1,5-diazacyclooctane-palladium(II) complex was synthesized using bis[N,N′-(2-indanolyl)]-1,5-diazacyclooctane, which was readily prepared via a novel [4+4] homocyclization of the unsaturated imine intermediate generated from acrolein and 1-amino-2-indanol. Interestingly, the 1,5-diazacyclooctane-palladium(II) complex self-assembled to form palladium nanoparticles. This approach readily provided palladium nanoparticles simply by heating a mixture of palladium(II) acetate and bis[N,N′-(2-indanolyl)]-1,4-diazacyclooctane in dichloroethane at mild temperatures. The 1,5-diazacyclooctane-derivative-palladium nanoparticles were successfully deployed in synthetic applications as a heterogeneous catalyst, facilitating Suzuki coupling and a challenging C–C bond formation via C(sp3)–H activation under low catalyst loading conditions.</jats:p>
