Abstract The reaction of 2‐(2‐bromoethyl)‐1,3‐dioxane with 1‐alkylbenzimidazole derivatives results in the formation of the new benzimidazolium salts (1). The reaction of Pd(OAc) 2 with 1,3‐dialkylbenzimidazolium salts (1a–c) yields palladium N ‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes (2a–c). All synthesized compounds were characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, IR and elemental analysis techniques which support the proposed structures. As catalysts, these new palladium complexes offer a simple and efficient methodology for the synthesis of triarylamines and secondary amines from anilines and amines and in a single step with potassium tertiary butoxide as a base.
