Abstract: Two new diaminophosphine ligands, $N$,$N$'-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)-2-(aminomethyl)aniline (1) and $N$,$N$'-bis(diisopropylphosphino)-2-(aminomethyl)aniline (2) were synthesized by the reaction of 2-(aminomethyl)aniline with two equivalents of Cy$_{2}$PCl or (iPr)$_{2}$PCl, respectively. The reactions of 1 and 2 with MCl$_{2}$(cod) (M = Pd, Pt; cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) yield complexes [cis-Pd(L$_{2}$PNHC$_{6}$H$_{4}$CH$_{2}$NHPL$_{2})$Cl$_{2}$] (L = Cy 3, iPr 4) and [cis-Pt(L$_{2}$PNHC$_{6}$H$_{4}$CH$_{2}$NHPL$_{2})$Cl$_{2}$] (L = Cy 5, iPr 6), respectively. The catalytic activity of the palladium complexes was investigated in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction in the presence of Cs$_{2}$CO$_{3}$ as a base. The palladium complexes were also found to be highly active catalysts in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction.
