Allylation palladium complexes

Hard carbon nucleophiles of organometallic compounds react with 7r-allyl-palladium complexes. A steroidal side-chain is introduced regio- and stereo-selectively by the reaction of the steroidal 7T-allylpalladium complex 319 with the alkenylzirconium compound 320[283]. 

Addition of several organomercury compounds (methyl, aryl, and benzyl) to conjugated dienes in the presence of Pd(II) salts generates the ir-allylpalladium complex 422, which is subjected to further transformations. A secondary amine reacts to give the tertiary allylic amine 423 in a modest yield along with diene 424 and reduced product 425[382,383]. Even the unconjugated diene 426 is converted into the 7r-allyllic palladium complex 427 by the reaction of PhHgCI via the elimination and reverse readdition of H—Pd—Cl[383]. 

The proposed mechanism (Scheme 7-11) includes (a) oxidative addition of a pro-tonated alcohol to Pd(0) to provide the ir-allyl palladium complex 44, (b) nucleophilic replacement of H2O by PhSH, (c) insertion of CO into the Pd-C bond, and (d) re-... 

Nucleophilic Substitution of xi-Allyl Palladium Complexes. TT-Allyl palladium species are subject to a number of useful reactions that result in allylation of nucleophiles.114 The reaction can be applied to carbon-carbon bond formation using relatively stable carbanions, such as those derived from malonate esters and (3-sulfonyl esters.115 The TT-allyl complexes are usually generated in situ by reaction of an allylic acetate with a catalytic amount of fefrafcz s-(triphenylphosphine)palladium... 

Me3SiPdSnBu3 is formed primarily from 6/1-237, which then adds to the allene moiety in 6/1-236 to give a a- or Jt-allyl palladium complex. This undergoes an intramolecular carbonyl allyl addition to afford the cis-cycloalkariols 6/1-238 (Scheme 6/1.61). 

However, some binuclear -jr-allyl palladium complexes have been obtained by facile decarboxylations from palladium chloride and some... 

Octatriene reacts further with butadiene in acetic acid by using 7r-allylic palladium complex as catalyst to give a mixture of acyioxydo-decatrienes (54). 

Palladium-catalyzed oxidation of 1,4-dienes has also been reported. Thus, Brown and Davidson28 obtained the 1,3-diacetate 25 from oxidation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene by ben-zoquinone in acetic acid with palladium acetate as the catalyst (Scheme 3). Presumably the reaction proceeds via acetoxypalladation-isomerization to give a rr-allyl intermediate, which subsequently undergoes nucleophilic attack by acetate. This principle, i.e. rearrangement of a (allyl)palladium complex, has been applied in nonoxidative palladium-catalyzed reactions of 1,4-dienes by Larock and coworkers29. Akermark and coworkers have demonstrated the stereochemistry of this process by the transformation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene to the ( r-allyl)palladium complex 26 by treatment... 

As mentioned in the introduction, 7T-complexes of conjugated dienes with palladium(II) are not stable enough to be isolated. However, reaction of a conjugated diene with PdCl2 in alcoholic solvents or acetic acid gives a (TT-allyl)palladium complex 27 in which the... 

In a stoichiometric reaction the 6jr-allyl)palladium complex 66 was isolated and characterized5815. In a subsequent reaction the jr-allyl complex was reacted with benzoquinone in acetic acid to give an allylic acetate, which was hydrolyzed and oxidized to theaspirone. Interestingly, a quite high diastereoselectivity for the turns methyl isomer was obtained in the palladium-mediated spirocyclization (equation 28). 

Recently, particular ligands have been reported to enable the amination of allyl alcohols without the aid of activators (Scheme 10).13c,13d Ozawa s group found that (7r-allyl)palladium complex 58 bearing. s/>2,2a,2b-hybridized... 

Fttrstner has employed the Trost pyrrole synthesis in the first total synthesis of roseophilin, wherein this A-benzylpyrrole-ring forming step occurred in 70% yield [23]. Backvall has found that primary amines react with dienes under the guidance of Pd(II) to form pyrroles 170 in variable yields [121]. The intermediate Jt-allyl-palladium complexes are quite stable.

The mechanism of this reaction was considered on the basis of hydropalladation (Scheme 14). To minimize steric repulsions, the palladium hydride complex approaches the C=CH2 moiety of the allene in the anti-Markovnikov mode from the opposite side of the substituent. This addition gives a 7t—allyl palladium complex with the (Z)-configuration,18 which is converted to the (Z)-product by C-P bond formation, with regeneration of the Pd(0) catalyst. 

Scheme 17.3 Possible stereoisomers of the Jt-allyl (palladium) complex and the equilibrium between them via a it-a-it rearrangement.

The palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidation of allenes with chloride was studied by Hege-dus et al. [3], In this reaction the dimeric products 4 and 6 as shown in Scheme 17.4 were obtained. The (allene)palladium(II) complex formed can react with chloride ions in two different ways (Scheme 17.4) [4]. Attack at the terminal carbon gives a vinylpalladium intermediate 2 whereas attack at the middle carbon produces a 2-chloro(jt-allyl)palladium complex 3. The former complex is the kinetic intermediate (k2 > kj) and is in equilibrium with the (allene)palladium complex. The 2-chloro(jt-allyl)palladium complex is formed more slowly but is more stable and has been isolated [2]. The vinyl complex can undergo further reaction with excess allene to give a new (jt-allyl)palladium complex, which undergoes attack with chloride to give the observed dimer 6 [3]. The dichloride from attack on the 2-chloro-(jT-allyl)palladium complex 3 was not observed. 

The reaction starts with an oxidative addition of an allylic compound to palladium(O) and a Tt-allyl-palladium complex forms. Carboxylates, allyl halides, etc. can be used. In practice one often starts with divalent palladium sources, which require in situ reduction. This reduction can take place in several ways, it may involve the alkene, the nucleophile, or the phosphine ligand added. One can start from zerovalent palladium complexes, but very stable palladium(O) complexes may also require an incubation period. Good starting materials are the 7t-allyl-palladium intermediates ... 

The insertion of allenes in the palladium-carbon a bond of cyclopalladated pyridine derivative 295 (cf. 00CRV3067) affords stable, isolable (ry -allyl) palladium complexes (e.g., 296) (03JOM(687)313). The ideally located imine unit when depalladated reacts selectively with the allyl functionality to yield methylene morphanthridizinium salts 297a-c. 

The first synthesis of 1,3-dioxolium-4-olates (here defined as oxamiinchnones) was reported in 1980 by Berk et al. (64) but it was work of Hamaguchi and Nagai (65,66) that demonstrated the accessibility and utility of these new mesoionic heterocycles in cycloaddition reactions. Thus, reaction of diazoacetic benzoic anhydrides 108 with a 7t-allyl palladium complex affords oxamiinchnones 109. 

Oxazoline formation from 5-vinyloxazolidinones promoted by palladium (0) is also known. Oxidative insertion of palladium with loss of CO2 results in a pair of equihbrating 71-allyl palladium complexes. The stereochemistry of the vinyl group is therefore not important. Ring closure from the thermodynamically more stable transition state accounts for the trans-isomer as the major product. Depending on the exact substitution, diastereoselectivities ranging from 2.5 1 to 16 1 can be obtained (Scheme 8.68). 

Novel palladium-catalyzed transformations of allylic alcohol and its derivatives are developed by Yamamoto and his co-workers. Bis(7r-allyl)palladium complexes are considered to be the key intermediates for the allylation of benzyl-idenemalonitrile and benzyl chloride (Scheme 29) (for examples see Refs 176,176a-176d). Asymmetric version of these reactions is being awaited. 

In conjunction with this, Jeong reported the cycloadditions of bis(allyl) and bis(homoallyl) acetals of alkynals leading to bicyclic lactols. Smaltz extended its utility to the synthesis of carbocyclic nucleoside by coupling with nucleophilic substitution of a 7r-allylic palladium complex (Equation (46)). ... 

Esters of allylic alcohols with resin-bound carboxylic acids can be converted into allyl palladium complexes, which react with carbon nucleophiles and with hydride sources to yield the formally reduced allyl derivatives (Entries 3 and 4, Table 3.47). Alkyl sulfonates have been reduced to alkanes with NaBH4 (Entry 5, Table 3.47). Aryl sulfonates (Entry 6, Table 3.47) and aryl perfluoroalkylsulfonates [814] can be reduced to alkanes by treatment with catalytic amounts of Pd(II) and formic acid as a hydride source. 

Polystyrene-bound secondary aliphatic amines and /V-alkyl amino acids can be ally-lated by treatment with a diene and an aryl iodide or bromide in the presence of palla-dium(II) acetate (Entry 14, Table 10.3). As the diene, 1,3-, 1,4-, and 1,5-dienes can be used, and, besides aryl halides, heteroaryl bromides have also been successfully used [63], This remarkable reaction is likely to proceed via the formation of an aryl palladium complex, with subsequent insertion of an alkene into the C-Pd bond. The resulting organopalladium compound does not undergo ( -elimination (as in the Heck reaction), but isomerizes to an allyl palladium complex, which reacts with the amine to give the observed allyl amines.
