The reaction of tt -allyl palladium complexes with hydrogen causes decomposition of the compounds, and produces either alkenes or alkanes, depending on the degree of substitution of the TT-aUyl complex and the reaction conditions. Hydride reagents, such as NaBUi and LiAUTi, also reduce the aUylic group to alkanes or alkenes. 

Bis(trifluorosilyl)bis(trimethylphosphine)paIladium was formed by a metal vapor/plasma technique (Scheme 1).[" Stable c -bis(silyl)palladium complexes were prepared from the direct reaction of either hydrosilanes or 1,2-dihydrodisilanes with the novel dinuclear palladium hydride (Scheme 2). A first X-ray crystal structure of the bis(silyl) compound 1 was obtained. ... 

A possible mechanism involving common oxidative addition, CO insertion, and decomposition of diazo compounds was proposed. The generated complex A undergoes a carbene migratory insertion into the palladium-acyl bond to form C-bound enolate B. Subsequently, (3-hydride elimination of complex B releases enone. For the equilibration between intermediate B with 0-bond enolate C, the latter is favored with the aid of strong electron-donating ligand PCys. Therefore, the transmetallation with EtsSiH and reductive elimination consequently take place to afford carbonyl compounds (Fig. 33). 

The intramolecular Heck reaction presented in Scheme 8 is also interesting and worthy of comment. Rawal s potentially general strategy for the stereocontrolled synthesis of the Strychnos alkaloids is predicated on the palladium-mediated intramolecular Heck reaction. In a concise synthesis of ( )-dehydrotubifoline [( )-40],22 Rawal et al. accomplished the conversion of compound 36 to the natural product under the conditions of Jeffery.23 In this ring-forming reaction, the a-alkenylpalladium(n) complex formed in the initial oxidative addition step engages the proximate cyclohexene double bond in a Heck cyclization, affording enamine 39 after syn /2-hydride elimination. The latter substance is a participant in a tautomeric equilibrium with imine ( )-40, which happens to be shifted substantially in favor of ( )-40. 

A similar involvement of palladium hydride, palladium alkyl, and palladium acyl complexes as intermediates in the catalytic cycle of the Pd-catalyzed hydroxycarbonylation of alkenes was reported for the aqueous-phase analogs. The cationic hydride PdH(TPPTS)3]+ was formed via the reduction of the Pd11 complex with CO and H20 to [Pd(TPPTS)3] and subsequent protonation in the acidic medium. The reaction of the hydride complex with ethene produced two new compounds, [Pd(Et)(TPPTS)3]+ and Pd(Et)(solvent)(TPPTS)2]+. The sample containing the mixture of palladium alkyl complexes reacted readily with CO to afford trans-[Pd(C(Q)Et)(TPPTS)2]+.665... 

Rhodium(i) complexes are excellent catalysts for the 1,4-addition of aryl- or 1-alkenylboron, -silicon, and -tin compounds to a,/3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. In contrast, there are few reports on the palladium(n) complex-catalyzed 1,4-addition to enones126,126a for the easy formation of C-bound enolate, which will result in /3-hydride elimination product of Heck reaction. Previously, Cacchi et al. described the palladium(n)-catalyzed Michael addition of ArHgCl or SnAr4 to enones in acidic water.127 Recently, Miyaura and co-workers reported the 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids and boroxines to a,/3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. A cationic palladium(n) complex [Pd(dppe)(PhCN)2](SbF6)2 was found to be an excellent catalyst for this reaction (dppe = l,2-bis(diphenyl-phosphine)ethane Scheme 42).128... 

Palladium-catalyzed allylic oxidations, in contrast, are synthetically useful reactions. Palladium compounds are known to give rise to carbonyl compounds or products of vinylic oxidation via nucleophilic attack on a palladium alkene complex followed by p-hydride elimination (Scheme 9.16, path a see also Section 9.2.4). Allylic oxidation, however, can be expected if C—H bond cleavage precedes nucleophilic attack 694 A poorly coordinating weak base, for instance, may remove a proton, allowing the formation of a palladium rr-allyl complex intermediate (89, path by694-696 Under such conditions, oxidative allylic substitution can compete...
