Abstract

Abstract Image

Dinuclear and mononuclear palladium complexes having N,N‘-bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]amidinate (DPFAM) as a ligand catalyzed the cross-addition of triisopropylsilylacetylene (TIPSA) to unactivated internal alkynes, giving enynes selectively. When palladium catalysts having PPh3, TDMPP, dppe, or dppf were used, dimers of TIPSA were obtained as major products. The reactions of TIPSA with several terminal alkynes also gave cross-adducts selectively, although the yields were moderate.
