Palladium catalyzed intermolecular allylic

Scheme 12.8 Palladium catalyzed intermolecular allylic amination.

The same group developed an interesting intermolecular palladium-catalyzed alienation of aryliodide with N-tosyl o-iodoanilines with nucleophiles in combination with two palladium-coupling reactions [69]. In this reaction, the N-allyl(2-iodopalladium)aniline intermediate 52 underwent an intramolecular Heck reaction followed by a cross-coupling reaction with phenyl boronic acid to give the 3,3-disubstituted indoline 53 in 78% yield (Scheme 8.27). 

The palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of vinylic oxirane 20a [42] and aziridine 20b [39] with the activated olefin 4a for the formation of five membered cyclic ether 21a and pyrrolidine derivative 21b has also been reported in our laboratories. The mechanistic issue is very much similar to that discussed in Scheme 9. Pd(0) catalyst added oxidatively to 20 to produce the 7r-allylpalladium complex 22. The Michael addition of a hetero nucleophile in 22 to the activated olefin 4a gives 23 which undergoes intramolecular nucleophilic attack on the inner 7r-allylic carbon atom to give the cy-clized products 21 and Pd(0) species is generated (Scheme 10). Similarly, the palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of vinylic oxirane 20a with the N-losylimincs 24 is also known (Scheme 11) [43]. Intermolecular cycloaddition of vinyl epoxides and aziridines with the heterocumulenes such as isocyanates, carbodiimides and isothiocyanates is also known [44,45]. Alper et al. reported the regio- and enatioselective formation of the thiaolidine, oxathiolane, and dithiolane derivatives by the palladium-catalyzed cyclization reaction of 2-vinylthiirane with heterocumulenes [46]. 

The palladium-catalyzed reaction of allyl chloride 11 with the benzyne precursor 104 to produces phenanthrene derivatives 131 is also known [83]. A plausible mechanism for this intermolecular benzyne-benzyne-alkene insertion reaction is shown in Scheme 38. Initially n-allyl palladium chloride la is formed from Pd(0) and 11. Benzyne 106, which is generated from the reaction of CsF and 104, inserted into la to afford the aryl palladium intermediate 132. A second benzyne insertion into 132 produce 133 and subsequent carbopalladation to the alkene afford the cyclized intermediate 134. f>- Iydride elimination from 134 followed by isomerization gave 9-methylphenanthrene 131. 

Palladium-catalyzed reaction of conjugated dienes in the presence of a halide anion can be controlled to give a l-acyloxy-4-halo-2-alkene selectively under appropriate reaction conditions. The catalyst for this system is a palladium(II) salt, usually Pd(OAc)2 or Li2PdCl4. The reaction may be intermolecular or intramolecular. In most cases, it is stereoselective and results in a 1,4-cis addition to the diene. The products obtained from such reactions are useful synthetic intermediates since they have two allylic leaving groups with a large difference in reactivity (see below, under Synthetic applications ). 

Intramolecular or intermolecular Heck-type reactions were also used in the synthesis of poly-substituted quinoline compounds. Palladium-catalyzed reaction between vinyl or aryl halides and ortAo-allyl-substituted-A -tosyl-anilides produces dihydroquinolines in an intermolecular fashion, where reaction of acrylates intramolecularly affords 4-quinolones. ° ° ... 

A series of l-benzazepin-5-ones were furnished via a rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular hydroacylation of an allyl amine onto an aryl aldehyde (14AGE3688) while a one-step synthesis of a number of tetrahydro-3-benzazepines was achieved through the palladium-mediated reaction of phenylethylamines with allenes (14JOC9578). 

Based on early mechanistic experiments, we propose that aminoester 139 and palladium(II)-n-allyl conplex 140 establish an unfavorable equilibrium with palladium(0) and ammonium salt 141 (Scheme 1 S.3ST As soon as this unstable ammonium intermediate is formed, it undergoes a rapid deprotonation to generate ammonium ylide 142, which is transformed into the observed [2,3]-rearrangement product 143 through an exo transition state. An unfavorable equilibrium for the palladium-catalyzed ammonium salt formation, in conjunction with the facile conversion of ammonium salts into the [2,3]-rearrangement products, could explain the difficulty in observing any ammonium intermediates. This mechanistic proposal also accounts for why catalytic intermolecular allylic amination with tertiary amines has never been reported before. 

Intermolecular Additions of Alcohois and Carboxylates The intermolecular oxidations of olefins with alcohols as nucleophile typically generate ketals, whereas the palladium-catalyzed oxidations of olefins with carboxylic acids as nucleophile generates vinylic or allylic carboxylates. As a result, many of the oxidations with alcohols have been conducted with diols to generate stable cyclic acetal products. Both types of oxidations have been conducted on large industrial scale, and vinyl acetate is produced from the oxidative reaction of ethylene with acetic acid in the gas phase over a supported palladium catalyst. ... 

Other similar palladium-catalyzed and intramolecular allylic oxidation reactions using tethered O- and A(-nucleophiles in conjunction with molecular oxygen (as a reoxidant) have been described. These provide a range of ring-fused heterocycles in good to excellent yield (eq 76). Related intermolecular amination reactions have also been described. ... 

The final modes of enantioselective allyl alkylations catalyzed by palladium involve the use of chiral nucleophiles447 and chiral leaving groups.448-449 Chiral enamines were found to undergo allylation in 100% optical yield in an intramolecular case and in up to 50% optical yield in intermolecular reactions (equation 358). 

A palladium(II)-catalyzed three component coupling reaction was established by Lu, who performed the intermolecular carbopalladation involving propargyl alcohols and alkenes, and this was followed consecutively by allylic chloride insertion to the C-Pd bond and its quenching by p-heteroatom elimination in the presence of an excess of chloride ions. An example is shown below <03TL467>.
