Abstract
Oxidative addition of iodoarenes to bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium(0) in the presence of N, N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmeda) affords PdIAr(tmeda) (Ar = 4-MeC{6}H{4}, 4-MeOC{6}H{4}, 4-Me(O)CC{6}H{4}, 4-O{2}NC{6}H{4}, 3-MeOC{6}H{4}) in high yield. Some of these complexes (Ar = 4-MeC{6}H{4}, 4-MeOC{6}H{4}, 3-MeOC{6}H{4}) react with LiMe to form PdMeAr(tmeda), and the methyl(aryl)palladium(II) complexes react with 2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline
