Bond oxidative addition reactions

One other point to note in regard to this study (141) is that any evidence of oxidative addition, particularly with the chloro-olefins, was absent. The similarity of the spectra, coupled with the nonobservation of any bands in the visible region, as well as the observation of vc-c in the region commonly associated with 7r-complexation of an olefin (141, 142), all argue in favor of normal ir-coordination, rather than oxidative insertion of the metal atom into, for example, a C-Cl bond. Oxidative, addition reactions of metal atoms will be discussed subsequently.

Pt(0), NVE 16/Pt(II), NVE 16). Oxidative additions generally occur most readily for low valent complexes, and for metals in the order 5d > Ad 3d. In addition to those that formally cleave C-X, H-X, and X-X (X = halide) bonds, oxidative addition reactions are also known where the metal is inserted into C-0, C-H, and some strained or activated C-C bonds. Another reaction which is effectively an oxidative addition is the formation of metallacycles from a low valent metal and an olefin (Equation 7). 

Insertion of palladium(O) into the weaker C—I bond (oxidative addition), reaction with the organozinc species (transmetallation - see Scheme 1.201) and reductive elimination gives 8 (Negishi reaction - compare with Scheme 1.140). 

Halogen-substituted succinimides are a class of products with important appHcations. /V-Bromosuccinimide [128-08-5] mp 176—177°C, is the most important product ia this group, and is prepared by addition of bromine to a cold aqueous solution of succinimide (110,111) or by reaction of succinimide with NaBr02 iu the presence of HBr (112). It is used as a bromination and oxidation agent ia the synthesis of cortisone and other hormones. By its use it is possible to obtain selective bromine substitution at methylene groups adjacent to double bonds without addition reactions to the double bond (113). 

RhCl(PPh3)3 is a very active homogenous hydrogenation catalyst, because of its readiness to engage in oxidative addition reactions with molecules like H2, forming Rh—H bonds of moderate strength that can subsequently be broken to allow hydride transfer to the alkene substrate. A further factor is the lability of the bulky triphenylphosphines that creates coordinative unsaturation necessary to bind the substrate molecules [44]. 

The cation has significant tetrahedral distortion from square planar geometry (P—Ir—P 150°) to minimize non-bonding interactions. It undergoes various oxidative addition reactions...

This synthetic approach is known from the synthesis of L M(alkene)H compounds from LnM(CO)alkane precursors and can easily be applied to the analogous silyl complexes. The Si—H bond even shows an increased activity for oxidative addition reactions [42, 43]. 

Although, as has already been mentioned, under matrix conditions between 10 and 77 K, there is no oxidative addition of a chloroolefin to nickel or palladium atoms (141), it is evident that this is simply a function of reaction and processing conditions, as it has been shown (68) that oxidative addition to C-C or C-H bonds by nickel atoms leads to pseudocomplexes having Ni C H ratios of 2-5 1 2. Klabunde and co-workers investigated the oxidative addition-reactions of palladium atoms with alkyl halides (73) and benzyl chlorides (74). 

Oxidative-addition reactions have been widely studied with bridged dinuclear metal complexes [1,2,5, 32]. Earlier work with the ylides and sulfur bonded ligands... 

Let us consider the general trends of the reactivity of C-C, C-S, and C-Q (Q = Cl, Br, I) bonds towards oxidative addition and reductive elimination (Scheme 7-25). In many cases, either C-C bond-forming reductive elimination from a metal center (a) or the oxidative addition of a C-Q bond to a low-valent metal center is a thermodynamically favorable process (c). On the other hand, the thermodynamics of the C-S bond oxidative addition and reductive elimination (b) lies in between these two cases. In other words, one could more easily control the reaction course by the modulation of metal, ligand, and reactant Further progress for better understanding of S-X bond activation will be achieved by thorough stoichiometric investigations and computational studies. 

Another general process involves the reaction of Pd(0) species with halides or sulfonates by oxidative addition, generating reactive intermediates having the organic group attached to Pd(II) by a ct bond. The oxidative addition reaction is very useful for aryl and alkenyl halides, but the products from saturated alkyl halides often decompose by (3-elimination. The a-bonded species formed by oxidative addition can react with alkenes and other unsaturated compounds to form new carbon-carbon bonds. The... 

The chemistry of platinum(0) is overwhelmingly dominated by phosphine complexes with the general formula [Pt(PR3) ] (n = 2-4). These complexes undergo various types of oxidative addition reactions, activating a wide variety of bonds. The stability of the complexes depends on the steric... 

The trimeric platinum(O) complex [Pt3(CNBu )6] undergoes a double oxidative addition reaction with 2,2-bis(disilanyl)dithiane to give tetrakis(organosilyl)bis(/-butylisocyanide)platinum(IV) complexes.53 The Si—Ge bonds in bis(silylgermyl)dithiane are also cleaved by [Pt3(CNBu )6] giving analogous platinum(IV) complexes with Pt—Si and Pt—Ge bonds.53... 

Oxidative addition reactions have been observed also for the binuclear clusters of other d-transition elements with multiple M-M bonds [1,116,117]. The multiplicity of the M-M bonds must decrease in these reactions. It is known from organic chemistry that similar reactions are extremely characteristic of unsaturated organic compounds. We believe that the capacity for oxidative... 

Ru, Os, and Ir carbene complexes have been prepared from reactions of anionic or low-valent metal complexes with some organic salts or neutral compounds with highly ionic bonds. Oxidative addition of halothiazole and -oxazole species to IrCl(CO)(PMe2Ph)2 affords Ir(III) complexes which on protonation yield cationic carbenes (69), e.g.,... 

Klabunde has reported limited reactivity toward oxidative addition reactions of carbon halogen bonds with nickel slurries prepared by the metal vaporization technique(65). 

The iron slurries show exceptional reactivity toward oxidative addition reactions with carbon halogen bonds. In fact, the reaction with C.FcI is so exothermic that the slurry has to be cooled to 0 °C before the addition of C F L The reaction of iron with C F Br is also quite exothermic, hence, even for this addition, the iron slurry is cooled to about 0 ° C. The organoiron compound formed in the above reactions, solvated Fe(C.F )2, reacts with CO at room temperature and ambient pressure to yiela Fe(C,F3)2(CO)2(DMEL. 

Metal-metal bonds in molybdenum and tungsten alkoxides provide a ready source of electrons for oxidative-addition reactions and addition reactions involving ir-acidic ligands. 

The effectiveness of an organic chloride in activating the catalyst appears to be related to the lability of the C—Cl bonds and probably also to their coordinating ability with the Rh. For example, CH30—CH2C1 and CH2=CH—CH2C1 were found to be extremely effective activators presumably, the presence of the ether or the allylic donor sites adds to the ease of the oxidative addition reaction ... 

The abundance of accessible donor and acceptor orbitals in common transition-metal complexes facilitates low-energy bond rearrangements such as insertion ( oxidative-addition ) reactions, thus enabling the critically important catalytic potential of metals.
