Metal-template synthesis and co-ordination properties of a palladium complex containing a novel and stable imidazole-substituted phosphine C–P bidentate chelate

Abstract

An organopalladium complex promoted Diels–Alder reaction between 1-phenyl-3,4-dimethylphosphole and 1-vinylimidazole gave a novel imidazole-substituted phosphanorbornene bidentate ligand which co-ordinated to the palladium template via the C² carbon atom of the imidazole group and the bridgehead phosphorus donor atom.
