Iminophosphine Palladium Complexes in Catalytic Stille Coupling Reactions: From Monomers to Dendrimers

Palladium complexes of a variety of β- and γ-iminophosphines have been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. Their properties as catalyst for three different Stille coupling reactions have been investigated and compared to catalytic performances of a phosphorus-containing dendrimer incorporating analogous γ-iminophosphine palladium complexes on the surface.
