Abstract: | Catellani reactions of aryl iodides allow the double functionalization at the ortho and ipso positions in one pot. Catellani reactions involving a nitrene intermediate are not yet known. In this paper, a few palladium amino complexes were prepared from PdCl2, anthranil and iodoarenes, and their structures were determined by X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction. These complexes are supported by a pincer C,N,O tridentate ligand forming fused six‐membered palladacycles. The high stability of the palladium complexes inhibits their reductive elimination. |
