Abstract: Two palladium complexes, (Ph3P)2PdBr2 and (Ph3P)2PdI2, were synthesized by a new method and their structures were confirmed by NMR, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. The catalytic activity of the two palladium complexes was evaluated in Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reaction of aryl halide with acrylate, and the results show that they all have high catalytic activity to many different substrates.

Key words: Palladium catalyst, Triphenylphosphine ligand, Mizoroki-Heck reaction
