When the bond is forced to be placed proximately to Rh center as shown in Scheme 3.42, exclusive cleavage of the aryl-0 bond (type a) takes place [81], The reaction mechanism for the aryl-0 bond cleavage by Rh(I) is proposed as follows the Rh(I) inserts into the aryl-0 bond via )7 -arene intermediate, followed by 1,2-migration of the methoxy group from aryl carbon to the Rh center, and then /I-hydrogen is smoothly eliminated.

The o-keto ester 513 is formed from a bulky secondary alcohol using tricy-clohexylphosphine or triarylphosphine, but the selectivity is low[367-369]. Alkenyl bromides are less reactive than aryl halides for double carbonyla-tion[367], a-Keto amides are obtained from aryl and alkenyl bromides, but a-keto esters are not obtained by their carbonylation in alcohol[370]. A mechanism for the double carbonylation was proposed[371,372],... 

A mechanism for alkene arylation by palladium(II) is given below. The isotope effect was found to be 5 when benzene-dg was used. When styrene-/S,i5-d2 was used. 

A large number of Brpnsted and Lewis acid catalysts have been employed in the Fischer indole synthesis. Only a few have been found to be sufficiently useful for general use. It is worth noting that some Fischer indolizations are unsuccessful simply due to the sensitivity of the reaction intermediates or products under acidic conditions. In many such cases the thermal indolization process may be of use if the reaction intermediates or products are thermally stable (vide infra). If the products (intermediates) are labile to either thermal or acidic conditions, the use of pyridine chloride in pyridine or biphasic conditions are employed. The general mechanism for the acid catalyzed reaction is believed to be facilitated by the equilibrium between the aryl-hydrazone 13 (R = FF or Lewis acid) and the ene-hydrazine tautomer 14, presumably stabilizing the latter intermediate 14 by either protonation or complex formation (i.e. Lewis acid) at the more basic nitrogen atom (i.e. the 2-nitrogen atom in the arylhydrazone) is important. 

In 1968, the aforementioned reaction was repeated and found to produce a rearranged product (11). This was the first report of aryl migration with the Pictet-Gams conditions. The expected product was l-methyl-3-phenyl isoquinoline, but only 1-methyl-4-isoquinoline (11) was observed. Interestingly, the authors did not suggest a mechanism for the formation of the isolated product. 

The Willgerodt reaction starts with the formation of an enamine 4 from the ketone, e.g. from acetophenone 3. The further course of the reaction cannot be described by a single mechanism that would apply to all examples known. For aryl methyl ketones 3 the mechanism for the Kindler variant is formulated as follows ... 

Scheme 5.1-3 A mechanism for the dealkylation of aryl ethers with pyridinium chloride.

Doubts against a radical mechanism were based mainly on the observation that no polymers of the alkene used for the arylation were found for a long time. It was not until the 1970s that Kopylova et al. (1971, 1972) and Ganushchak et al. (1972) obtained telomers with the general formula Ar(CH2CHZ)nCl in low yields under conditions of high vinyl monomer concentration. 

The possible mechanism for the reactions involving stoichiometric amount of preformed Ni(0) complexes is shown in Fig. 9.8. The first step of the mechanism involves the oxidative addition of aryl halides to Ni(0) to form aryl Ni(II) halides. Disproportion of two aryl Ni(II) species leads to a diaryl Ni(II) species and a Ni(II) halide. This diaryl Ni(II) species undergoes rapid reductive elimination to form the biaryl product. The generated Ni(0) species can reenter the catalytic cycle. 

Examples of the intermolecular C-P bond formation by means of radical phosphonation and phosphination have been achieved by reaction of aryl halides with trialkyl phosphites and chlorodiphenylphosphine, respectively, in the presence of (TMSlsSiH under standard radical conditions. The phosphonation reaction (Reaction 71) worked well either under UV irradiation at room temperature or in refluxing toluene. The radical phosphina-tion (Reaction 72) required pyridine in boiling benzene for 20 h. Phosphinated products were handled as phosphine sulfides. Scheme 15 shows the reaction mechanism for the phosphination procedure that involves in situ formation of tetraphenylbiphosphine. This approach has also been extended to the phosphination of alkyl halides and sequential radical cyclization/phosphination reaction. ...

For such reactions, the formation in the first step of a Cu(I) Nu species is generally accepted. But, for the arylation step four different mechanisms have been proposed (ref. 69) ... 

Maleimides Alkyl and aryl maleimides in small concentrations, e.g., 5-10 wt% significantly enhance yield of cross-link for y-irradiated (in vacuo) NR, cw-l,4-polyisoprene, poly(styrene-co-butadiene) rubber, and polychloroprene rubber. A-phenyhnaleimide and m-phenylene dimaleimide have been found to be most effective. The solubihty of the maleimides in the polymer matrix, reactivity of the double bond and the influence of substituent groups also affect the cross-fink promoting ability of these promoters [82]. The mechanism for the cross-link promotion of maleimides is considered to be the copolymerization of the rubber via its unsaturations with the maleimide molecules initiated by radicals and, in particular, by allyfic radicals produced during the radiolysis of the elastomer. Maleimides have also been found to increase the rate of cross-linking in saturated polymers like PE and poly vinylacetate [33].

Figure 8-5. Proposed mechanism for the catalytic arylation of 2,3-dihydrofuran with phenyl triflate in the presence of Pd(OAc)2-(i )-BINAP catalyst.

A mechanism for the asymmetric induction for Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylations using chiral ligands such as 23 was proposed on the basis of stereochemical results and the X-ray structure of the intermediate Pd complex 24 <2004T2155>. The enantioselectivity of the alkylations, an example of which is shown in Equation (8), was rationalized by a conformational equilibrium that favored one of two possible 7i-allylpalladium complexes due to steric interference between the aryl substituent on the sulfmyl group of 24 and the phenyl of the 7i-allyl system.
