Carbon stable complex

Facile reaction of a carbon nucleophile with an olefinic bond of COD is the first example of carbon-carbon bond formation by means of Pd. COD forms a stable complex with PdCl2. When this complex 192 is treated with malonate or acetoacetate in ether under heterogeneous conditions at room temperature in the presence of Na2C03, a facile carbopalladation takes place to give the new complex 193, formed by the introduction of malonate to COD. The complex has TT-olefin and cr-Pd bonds. By the treatment of the new complex 193 with a base, the malonate carbanion attacks the cr-Pd—C bond, affording the bicy-clo[6.1,0]-nonane 194. The complex also reacts with another molecule of malonate which attacks the rr-olefin bond to give the bicyclo[3.3.0]octane 195 by a transannulation reaction[l2.191]. The formation of 194 involves the novel cyclopropanation reaction of alkenes by nucleophilic attack of two carbanions.

The cyclopentadienide ion, C H , is a common organic anion that forms very stable complexes with metal cations. The anion is derived by removing a proton from cyclopentadiene, QH, with strong base. The molecule has a five-memhered ring of carbon atoms, with four carbon atoms attached to only one proton and one carbon atom bonded to two. Draw the Lewis... 

The lobes of electron density outside the C-O vector thus offer cr-donor lone-pair character. Surprisingly, carbon monoxide does not form particularly stable complexes with BF3 or with main group metals such as potassium or magnesium. Yet transition-metal complexes with carbon monoxide are known by the thousand. In all cases, the CO ligands are bound to the metal through the carbon atom and the complexes are called carbonyls. Furthermore, the metals occur most usually in low formal oxidation states. Dewar, Chatt and Duncanson have described a bonding scheme for the metal - CO interaction that successfully accounts for the formation and properties of these transition-metal carbonyls. 

The stable silene Me2Si=C(SiMe3(SiMe(r-Bu)2) was first reported as a stable complex with THF,34 and its crystal structure showed the length of the silicon-carbon double bond as 1.747 A. Subsequently, it was possible to remove the THF and isolate the uncomplexed silene, which had a noticeably shorter Si=C bond length of 1.702 A.29 Further investigation showed that stable complexes of this or closely related silenes with trimethyl- or ethyldimethylamine, pyridine, and fluoride ion were also readily formed and moderately stable.31141... 

As mentioned above nonconjugated dienes give stable complexes where the two double bonds can form a chelate complex. A common pathway in palladium-catalyzed oxidation of nonconjugated dienes is that, after a first nucleophilic addition to one of the double bonds, the second double bond inserts into the palladium-carbon bond. The new (cr-alkyl)palladium complex produced can then undergo a /(-elimination or an oxidative cleavage reaction (Scheme 2). An early example of this type of reaction, although not catalytic, was reported by Tsuji and Takahashi (equation 2)12. 

Hayashi et al. proposed a catalytic cycle for the rhodium-catalyzed 1,4-addition of phenylboronic acid to 2-cyclo-hexenone (Scheme 28), which was confirmed by NMR spectroscopic studies.96 The reaction presumably involved three intermediates, phenylrhodium a, oxa-7r-allylrhodium b, and hydroxorhodium c complexes. Complex a reacted with 2-cyclohexenone to give b by insertion of the carbon-carbon double bond of enone into the phenyl-rhodium bond followed by isomerization into the thermodynamically more stable complex. Complex b was converted to c upon addition of water, liberating the phenylation product. Transmetallation of the phenyl group from phenylboronic acid to rhodium took place in the presence of triphenylphosphine to regenerate a. 

This is also especially true for the binding of carbonate and hydrogen carbonate, which can both act as monodentate and bidentate ligands. For quite some time it was not possible to isolate stable hydrogen carbonate metal complexes since these tend to undergo rapid loss of CO2. However, more recently such complexes have been isolated and well characterized. It has also been shown that, depending on the nature of the spectator ligands.
