Accelerated Heck reaction using ortho‐palladated complex in a nonaqueous ionic liquid with controlled microwave heating

The activity of {Pd[C 6 H 2 (CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 )‐(OMe) 2 ,3,4] (µ‐Br)} 2 complex was investigated in the Heck–Mizoroki CC cross‐coupling reaction under conventional heating and microwave irradiation conditions in molten salt tetrabutylammonium bromide as the solvent and promoter at 130 °C. This complex in these conditions is an active and efficient catalyst for the Heck reaction of aryl iodides, bromides and even chlorides, and also arenesulfonyl...
