ABSTRACT

N,O,O-donating ligand was prepared from the condensation of benzofuran hydrazone and ortho-vanilln. Metal complex of this ligand is neither air- nor moisture-sensitive. The effects of varying solvents, bases, and ligand/copper ratio on the performance of the coupling reaction were investigated. All reactions are carried out in anhydrous condition.

Keywords: N, O, O-donating ligand, Chan-Lam cross coupling, Copper complex.
