The reactions of the second class are carried out by the reaction of oxidized forms[l] of alkenes and aromatic compounds (typically their halides) with Pd(0) complexes, and the reactions proceed catalytically. The oxidative addition of alkenyl and aryl halides to Pd(0) generates Pd(II)—C a-hondi (27 and 28), which undergo several further transformations. 

With higher alkenes, three kinds of products, namely alkenyl acetates, allylic acetates and dioxygenated products are obtained[142]. The reaction of propylene gives two propenyl acetates (119 and 120) and allyl acetate (121) by the nucleophilic substitution and allylic oxidation. The chemoselective formation of allyl acetate takes place by the gas-phase reaction with the supported Pd(II) and Cu(II) catalyst. Allyl acetate (121) is produced commercially by this method[143]. Methallyl acetate (122) and 2-methylene-1,3-diacetoxypropane (123) are obtained in good yields by the gas-phase oxidation of isobutylene with the supported Pd catalyst[144]. 

In Grignard reactions, Mg(0) metal reacts with organic halides of. sp carbons (alkyl halides) more easily than halides of sp carbons (aryl and alkenyl halides). On the other hand. Pd(0) complexes react more easily with halides of carbons. In other words, alkenyl and aryl halides undergo facile oxidative additions to Pd(0) to form complexes 1 which have a Pd—C tr-bond as an initial step. Then mainly two transformations of these intermediate complexes are possible insertion and transmetallation. Unsaturated compounds such as alkenes. conjugated dienes, alkynes, and CO insert into the Pd—C bond. The final step of the reactions is reductive elimination or elimination of /J-hydro-gen. At the same time, the Pd(0) catalytic species is regenerated to start a new catalytic cycle. The transmetallation takes place with organometallic compounds of Li, Mg, Zn, B, Al, Sn, Si, Hg, etc., and the reaction terminates by reductive elimination. 

The reaction of a halide with 2-butene-1,4-diol (104) affords the aldehyde 105, which is converted into the 4-substituted 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran 106, and oxidized to the 3-aryl-7-butyrolactone 107[94], Asymmetric arylation of the cyclic acetal 108 with phenyl triflate[95] using Pd-BINAP afforded 109, which was converted into the 3-phenyllactone 110 in 72% ee[96]. Addition of a molecular sieve (MS3A) shows a favorable effect on this arylation. The reaction of the 3-siloxycyclopentene 111 with an alkenyl iodide affords the. silyl... 

Intramolecular reaction can be used for polycyclization reaction[275]. In the so-called Pd-catalyzed cascade carbopalladation of the polyalkenyne 392, the first step is the oxidative addition to alkenyl iodide. Then the intramolecular alkyne insertion takes place twice, followed by the alkene insertion twice. The last step is the elimination of/3-hydrogen. In this way, the steroid skeleton 393 is constructed from the linear diynetriene 392(276]. 

Interesting formation of the fulvene 422 takes place by the reaction of the alkenyl bromide 421 with a disubstituted alkyne[288]. The indenone 425 is prepared by the reaction of o-iodobenzaldehyde (423) with internal alkyne. The intermediate 424 is formed by oxidative addition of the C—H bond of the aldehyde and its reductive elimination affords the enone 425(289,290]. 

Several types of Pd-catalyzed or -promoted reactions of conjugated dienes via TT-allylpalladium complexes are known. The Pd(II)-promoted oxidative difunctionalization reactions of conjugated dienes with various nucleophiles is treated in Chapter 3, Section 4, and Pd(0)-catalyzed addition reactions of conjugated dienes to aryl and alkenyl halides in this chapter. Section 1.1.1. Other Pd(0)-catalyzed reactions of conjugated dienes are treated in this section. 

Tandem cyclization/3-substitution can be achieved starting with o-(trifluoro-acetamido)phenylacetylenes. Cyclization and coupling with cycloalkenyl trif-lates can be done with Pd(PPh3)4 as the catalyst[9]. The Pd presumably cycles between the (0) and (II) oxidation levels by oxidative addition with the triflate and the reductive elimination which completes the 3-alkenylation. The N-protecting group is removed by solvolysis under the reaction conditions, 3-Aryl groups can also be introduced using aryl iodides[9]. 

Alkoxythiazoles are prepared by heterocyclization (274, 462). The Williamson method using catalytic amounts of KI and cupric oxide is also possible (278. 288, 306). 5-Acetoxy-4-alkenylthiazoles are obtained by treatment of 242 with acetyl chloride and triethylamine or with acetic anhydride and pyridine (450). Similarly, the reaction of diphenylketene with 242 affords 5-acyloxy-4-alkenylthiazoles (243) (Scheme 120) (450). The readiness of these o-acetylations suggests that 4-alkylidene thiazoline-5-one might be in equilibrium with 4-alkenyl-5-hydroxythiazoles (450). 

Various electrophiles other than iodine have been used to induce alkenyl coupling (9). Alkyl haUdes and protic acids react with alkynylborates to yield mixtures of stereoisomeric alkenylboranes. Nevertheless, oxidation of these products is synthetically useful, providing single ketones (296—298). Alcohols are obtained from the corresponding alkenylborates. 

The hydrides can also be used to form primary alcohols from either terminal or internal olefins. The olefin and hydride form an alkenyl zirconium, Cp2ZrRCl, which is oxidized to the alcohol. Protonic oxidizing agents such as peroxides and peracids form the alcohol direcdy, but dry oxygen may also be used to form the alkoxide which can be hydrolyzed (234). 

In the olivanic acid series of carbapenems the ( )-acetamidoethenyl grouping can be isomerised to the (Z)-isomer (19) (22) and reaction with hypobromous acid provides a bromohydrin that fragments to give a thiol of type (20) when R = H, SO H, or COCH. The thiol is not isolated but can react to provide new alkyl or alkenyl C-2 substituents (28). In the case of the nonsulfated olivanic acids, inversion of the stereochemistry at the 8(3)-hydroxyl group by way of a Mitsunobu reaction affords an entry to the 8(R)-thienamycin series (29). An alternative method for introducing new sulfur substituents makes use of a displacement reaction of a carbapenem (3)-oxide with a thiol (30).

The electrophilic character of the palladium atom in the complexes formed by oxidative addition of aryl halides and alkenyl halides to palladium(o) complexes can be exploited in useful ways.
