Bromides alkenes

The reaction of a vicinal dibromide with triethylamine and DMF with micro-wave irradiation leads to vinyl bromide. Alkenes are formed from vicinal bromides by heating with iron in methanol " or samarium in the presence of TMSCl and a trace of water. a,(3-Dibromo amides are converted to conjugated amides upon photolysis in methanol. ...

MarkownikofT s rule The rule states that in the addition of hydrogen halides to an ethyl-enic double bond, the halogen attaches itself to the carbon atom united to the smaller number of hydrogen atoms. The rule may generally be relied on to predict the major product of such an addition and may be easily understood by considering the relative stabilities of the alternative carbenium ions produced by protonation of the alkene in some cases some of the alternative compound is formed. The rule usually breaks down for hydrogen bromide addition reactions if traces of peroxides are present (anti-MarkownikofT addition).

Another feature of the Pd—C bonds is the excellent functional group tolerance. They are inert to many functional groups, except alkenes and alkynes and iodides and bromides attached to sp carbons, and not sensitive to H2O, ROH, and even RCO H. In this sense, they are very different from Grignard reagents, which react with carbonyl groups and are easily protonated. 

The oxidation of higher alkenes in organic solvents proceeds under almost neutral conditions, and hence many functional groups such as ester or lac-tone[26,56-59], sulfonate[60], aldehyde[61-63], acetal[60], MOM ether[64], car-bobenzoxy[65], /-allylic alcohol[66], bromide[67,68], tertiary amine[69], and phenylselenide[70] can be tolerated. Partial hydrolysis of THP ether[71] and silyl ethers under certain conditions was reported. Alcohols are oxidized with Pd(II)[72-74] but the oxidation is slower than the oxidation of terminal alkenes and gives no problem when alcohols are used as solvents[75,76]. 

In the reaction of Q,/3-unsaturated ketones and esters, sometimes simple Michael-type addition (insertion and hydrogenolysis, or hydroarylation, and hydroalkenylation) of alkenes is observed[53,54]. For example, a simple addition product 56 to methyl vinyl ketone was obtained by the reaction of the heteroaromatic iodide 55[S5]. The corresponding bromide affords the usual insertion-elimination product. Saturated ketones are obtained cleanly by hydroarylation of o,/3l-unsaturated ketones with aryl halides in the presence of sodium formate, which hydrogenolyses the R—Pd—I intermediate to R— Pd—H[56]. Intramolecular hydroarylation is a useful reaction. The diiodide 57 reacts smoothly with sodium formate to give a model compound for the afla-toxin 58. (see Section 1.1.6)[57]. Use of triethylammonium formate and BU4NCI gives better results. 

The diazonium salts 145 are another source of arylpalladium com-plexes[114]. They are the most reactive source of arylpalladium species and the reaction can be carried out at room temperature. In addition, they can be used for alkene insertion in the absence of a phosphine ligand using Pd2(dba)3 as a catalyst. This reaction consists of the indirect substitution reaction of an aromatic nitro group with an alkene. The use of diazonium salts is more convenient and synthetically useful than the use of aryl halides, because many aryl halides are prepared from diazonium salts. Diazotization of the aniline derivative 146 in aqueous solution and subsequent insertion of acrylate catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 by the addition of MeOH are carried out as a one-pot reaction, affording the cinnamate 147 in good yield[115]. The A-nitroso-jV-arylacetamide 148 is prepared from acetanilides and used as another precursor of arylpalladium intermediate. It is more reactive than aryl iodides and bromides and reacts with alkenes at 40 °C without addition of a phosphine ligandfl 16].

The regioselectivity of addition of HBr to alkenes under normal (electrophilic addi tion) conditions is controlled by the tendency of a proton to add to the double bond so as to produce the more stable carbocatwn Under free radical conditions the regioselec tivity IS governed by addition of a bromine atom to give the more stable alkyl radical Free radical addition of hydrogen bromide to the double bond can also be initiated photochemically either with or without added peroxides...
