Amination of Aryl Iodides Catalyzed by a Palladium–Copper Complex Supported by a Chelate-Bridging Ligand

Palladium–copper complexes supported by a new chelate-bridging ligand designed for a cooperative effect of two metals were synthesized. The bimetallic complexes exhibited higher activities as catalysts for amination of aryl iodides than mononuclear catalyst.
