Development of ambiphilic phosphinometal-ligands for palladium catalysis

• Applicant: Dr. Michael Tauchert
• Subject Area: Inorganic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation
• Term: from 2020 to 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 441325299

In the cause of this project an ambiphilic phosphinometal ligand system (PM) for the conduction of challenging palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions will be developed. By coordination of a Lewis acidic metallo ligand the oxidation state Pd(0) will be stabilized. Through this stabilization challenging reductive eliminations in catalytic C–E bond formation reactions will be realized. By using an additional free coordination site at the metallo ligand catalytic cross-coupling reactions by C–F bond activation and regioselective-directed C–X activation will be established.
