Organopalladium palladium complexes

Reinhoudt and coworkers studied the synthesis of hyper-branched polymers composed of organopalladium complexes with an SCS pincer ligand [11]. Removal of acetonitrile ligands on palladium led to the self-assembly of dinu-clear palladium complex (9) to give hyper-branched polymer (10), which was... 

Polystyrene-bound secondary aliphatic amines and /V-alkyl amino acids can be ally-lated by treatment with a diene and an aryl iodide or bromide in the presence of palla-dium(II) acetate (Entry 14, Table 10.3). As the diene, 1,3-, 1,4-, and 1,5-dienes can be used, and, besides aryl halides, heteroaryl bromides have also been successfully used [63], This remarkable reaction is likely to proceed via the formation of an aryl palladium complex, with subsequent insertion of an alkene into the C-Pd bond. The resulting organopalladium compound does not undergo ( -elimination (as in the Heck reaction), but isomerizes to an allyl palladium complex, which reacts with the amine to give the observed allyl amines. 

Similarly, cyclizative tandem double-carbonylation reactions of 4-pentenyl iodide under irradiation conditions, is boosted by the addition of a catalytic amount of palladium complexes [72]. When performed in the presence of diethylamine, the carbonylation provided a triply carbonylated a,<5-diketo amide as the major product along with the doubly carbonylated y-keto amide (Scheme 6.48). Experimental evidence supports the interplay of two reactive species, radicals and organopalladium... 

Much work has gone into the optimization of results with functionalized alkenes. In the reaction of cyclic alkenes, ds-decomposition of organopalladium halide-alkene complex gives -palladium complex 41. This subsequently undergoes syn-p-hydride elimination since only one such hydrogen is available, deconjugation to 3-substituted alkenes should... 

Conversion of norbornadiene to nortricyclenes can also be achieved with organomercurials. This reaction proceeds via transmetalation to form a c-bonded organopalladium system which inserts norbornadiene. Thus an enrfo-cw-addition is observed. Conversions of this type were observed in the phenylation of dichloro(t -norbornadiene)palladium either with diphenyl-mercury or, more conveniently, with sodium tetraphenylborate to give di-/r-chlorobis(2 5,6-t -c ffo-3-phenylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-e /o-2-yl)palladium (30) via cis addition.By contrast, the analogous platinum complex did not give a phenylation product. The palladium complex 30 underwent reversible ring closure to a nortricyclenyl complex 31 with pyridine. ... 

As described in the previous section. Ni(cod>2 is used as a versatile precursor to organonickel complexes (see Section 12.2). On the other hand, the corresponding palladium complex Pd(cod)2 is too unstable to be handled [77]. Therefore, the more stable palladium(O) olefin complex Pd Cdba) (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) is generally employed instead (eq (56)) [78]. The dba complex can be isolated as air-stable purple crystals and stored at room temperature without decomposition. This complex was applied to the synthesis of various palladium(O) olefin complexes [79] and mono-organopalladium(II) complexes. 

In the reaction, an organic halide first forms an organopalladium halide complex with the catalyst, by oxidative addition. This complex then adds to an olefin and the adduct decomposes, by elimination of a hydrido-palladium halide, to form a new olefin in which a vinylic position is substituted by the organic moiety of the substrate halide. 

Other Reactions of Unsaturated Steroids.—A review on organopalladium intermediates includes several steroidal examples. A mechanistic study of the formation of the 7r-allyl palladium complex (65) from the corresponding 3-oxocholest-4-ene led to the conclusion that initial 7r-complexing was rate limiting. Reactions of a series of similar ir-allyl palladium complexes (66)—(68) with dialkyl malonate ion gave the 3-oxo-A -6/S-yl malonates (69)—(71) respec-... 

Carbopalladation is the reaction of a cr-bonded organopalladium complex I with an unsaturated molecule (such as an alkene 2) to yield the migratory insertion product 3 (Scheme 1). The reaction is tremendously flexible, allowing for a wide variety of structural types for both reactants 1 and 2. The precursors of palladium complexes 1 are commonly alkenyl or aryl halides or triflates (8 and 9, respectively), the reaction of which is more commonly termed the Heck reaction. Allylic systems 10, which react to provide -Tr-allylpalladium complexes, can participate in the reaction as can benzylic precursors 11. Acylpalladium complexes 12 also react and are commonly generated in the same reaction vessel by Pd-catalyzed carbonylation. Their unsaturated reaction partners include alkenes 2, alkynes 4, dienes 6, allenes, and arenes, all of which can be electron rich or poor. Carbopalladation occurs in a syn fashion allowing the installation of stereocenters (2- 3) or control of alkene geometry (4- 5).
