Participants

Reaction Steps

In a baked Schlenk tube, 1.0 g (3.4 mmol) of trans-N,N′-bispyridin-2-ylmethylenecyclohexane-1,2-diamine are dissolved in 40 ml of THF and admixed with 882 mg (3.4 mmol) of palladium(II) chloride*2 CH3CN. After 0.2 h, the solution becomes yellowish. After stirring at room temperature for another 2 hours, the solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the residue is stirred with 10 ml of heptane. Filtration through a G3 frit gives the product as a yellow solid in a yield of 1.45 g (2.92 mmol, 86%).
