[3]Rotaxane-based dinuclear palladium catalysts for ring-closure Mizoroki-Heck reaction

Abstract

[3]Rotaxane containing two Pd centers in the cyclic compounds catalyzes a Mizoroki-Heck reaction of substrates with two iodophenyl groups with bisacrylate. Formation of the cyclic products is enhanced by the rotaxane catalyst more smoothly than Pd(OAc)2. © 2011 American Chemical Society.
