Metallocycles palladium

The first 7]2-disilene complexes of palladium were described in 2003 structural data for L2Pd 7]2-(Me2ButSi)2Si=Si(SiMe2But)2 (L2 = (PMe3)2 or dmpe) indicate that a metallocyclic description with strong... 

It has been shown that electron-rich cyclopropanes are able to displace ethylene from dichloro(ethylene)platinum to yield four-membered metallocyclic complexes (cf. equation 37). On the other hand 1,1,2,2-tetracyanocyclopropane (171) reacts under mild conditions with zerovalent platinum and palladium complexes of the type Pt(PPh3)2 (C2H4) or ML (n = 3, 4 M = Pd or Pt L = phosphines or triphenylarsines) to give metallocyclobutane derivatives (172) (equation 118) .

The palladium-catalyzed hydrothiolation of terminal alkynes has been achieved using a metallocycle catalyst that was generated through the treatment of palladium acetate with phosphinic acids (Scheme 5.53) [79], Using this catalyst system, benzenethiol was added to 1-octyne in moderate yield with high selectivity for the Markovnikov-isomer. While only a single hydrothiolation example was reported, this chemistry provides the foundation for the design of additional palladium-catalyzed reactions. 

Mixed phosphorus compounds, bearing at least two different tervalent phosphorus moieties have been developed and have found several applications in catalysis. Iri li described the synthesis of aminophosphine-phosphinite ligands 149 and 150, from the commercially available 3-piperidinemethanol and 3-(methylamino) pro-pan-l-ol. Their palladium and platinum complexes 151 and 152, containing metallocyclic rings, were obtained as air-stable compounds with high yields, and characterized by P, and NMR spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The Pd complexes were effective catalysts on Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of various aryl chlorides and atyl bromides with phe-nylboronic acid.
