Unsymmetrical 1-(arylimino)-3-(2-hetarylimino)isoindolines have been prepared from 1,3-diiminoisoindoline, an arylamine (aniline, 2-methylaniline, 2-iodoaniline), and a heteroaromatic amine (2-amino-6-methylpyridine, 2-amino-4-methylthiazole) in a stepwise manner by two consecutive condensations. The metalation reactions of these compounds with palladium(II) acetate proceed upon cyclopalladation of the carbocyclic aryl moieties and yield unsymmetrical C, N, N pincer complexes in all cases. X-ray crystallographic analysis were performed on single crystals of hydrogen{acetato[1-phenylimino-3-(6-methylpyridylimino)isoindolinato]palladate(II)} H[(phpi)Pd(OAc)] and pyridine[1-(2-tolylimino)-3-(4-methylthiazolylimino)isoindolinato]palladium(II) [(2-tolti)Pd(py)] by which the coordination mode, the conformation, the protonation site, and the trans influence of the carbon donor were established. For one more C, N, N pincer complex, hydrogen{acetato[1-(2-iodophenylimino)-3-(6-methylpyridylimino)isoindolinato]palladate(II)} H[(2-Iphpi)Pd(OAc)], a similar mononuclear coordination mode was confirmed by (1)H NMR spectroscopy, whereas for the product of an oxidative addition reaction of a palladium(0) precursor to the iodoaryl derivative a product with exo coordination was found. First experiments showed the effectivity of one of these complexes as a precatalyst in CC coupling reactions (Heck and Stille coupling).
