The present work describes the synthesis of palladium(II) complex with non-chelating 4-pyridylselenolate ligand as [PdCl(4-SeC5H4N)(PPh3)2]. The catalyst was found to be active for aminocarbonylation reaction of aryl and hetero aryl iodides with primary amines using carbon monoxide a simple and efficient C1 source. The catalytic system was optimized with respect to various reaction parameters to give excellent yield of desired products. The milder reaction conditions and wild functional groups tolerance enhance its practical applicability.
