Palladium complexes intermediates

This competition between the nucleophile and the free secondary amine for the capture of the 7t-allyl palladium complex intermediate is explained by the mechanism of deprotection (Scheme 2). 

As described in Sect. Vin.2.2, the Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction of arenes and olefins proceeds via o--aryl-Palladium complex intermediates to give aryl-substituted olefins (Scheme 1). 

In the case of conjugated diynes, the hydroalkoxylation reaction in the presence of phenol afforded alkoxylated enyne products. Aliphatic alcohols do not add to the diyne system indicating the necessity of an acidic alcohol (phenols, naphthol or 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol). The mechanism supposed the formation of a a-cumulenyl palladium complex intermediate is consistent with the absence of the double addition of phenol to the starting diyne or the second addition of phenol to the resulting enyne [100] (Scheme 50). 

Seven procedures descnbe preparation of important synthesis intermediates A two-step procedure gives 2-(HYDROXYMETHYL)ALLYLTRIMETH-YLSILANE, a versatile bifunctional reagent As the acetate, it can be converted to a tnmethylenemethane-palladium complex (in situ) which undergoes [3 -(- 2] annulation reactions with electron-deficient alkenes A preparation of halide-free METHYLLITHIUM is included because the presence of lithium halide in the reagent sometimes complicates the analysis and use of methyllithium Commercial samples invariably contain a full molar equivalent of bromide or iodide AZLLENE IS a fundamental compound in organic chemistry, the preparation... 

There are three areas of activity in the field of arenediazonium salts in interaction with metals and transition elements which have some similarities to metals. First is the use of copper in the reactions of Sandmeyer (1884), Pschorr (1896), Gomberg-Bachmann (1924), and Meerwein (1939). Other transition metal catalysts (Ti and Pd) have been used for such reactions since the 1970s (see Secs. 10.8 and 10.9). Up to now only one intermediate has been directly identified, the aryldiazenido palladium complex (ArN2Pd(PPh3)3]+BF4 (Yamashita et al., 1980 see Sec. 10.9, Scheme 10-64). 

In 2003, Sigman et al. reported the use of a chiral carbene ligand in conjunction with the chiral base (-)-sparteine in the palladium(II) catalyzed oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols [26]. The dimeric palladium complexes 51a-b used in this reaction were obtained in two steps from N,N -diaryl chiral imidazolinium salts derived from (S, S) or (R,R) diphenylethane diamine (Scheme 28). The carbenes were generated by deprotonation of the salts with t-BuOK in THF and reacted in situ with dimeric palladium al-lyl chloride. The intermediate NHC - Pd(allyl)Cl complexes 52 are air-stable and were isolated in 92-95% yield after silica gel chromatography. Two diaster corners in a ratio of approximately 2 1 are present in solution (CDCI3). 

A plausible mechanism proposed for this reaction involves migratory insertion of an olefin into the Pd-Si bond of a paUadium-silyl intermediate I followed by migratory insertion of the pendant olefin into the resulting Pd-C bond of II forming palladium-alkyl intermediate III. Reaction of Iff with hydrosilane releases the carbocy-cle to regenerate the palladium-silyl complex I (Scheme 3-21) [61]. 

At the beginning of the 1970s a convenient procedure was described for converting olefins into substituted butanedioates, namely through a Pd(II)-cata-lysed bisalkoxycarbonylation reaction. So far various catalytic systems have been applied to this process, but it took twenty years before the first examples of an enantioselective bisalkoxycarbonylation of olefins were reported. Ever since, the asymmetric bisalkoxycarbonylation of alkenes catalysed by palladium complexes bearing chiral ligands has attracted much attention. The products of these reactions are important intermediates in the syntheses of pharmaceuticals such as 2-arylpropionic acids, the most important class of... 

The allylation of aldehydes can be carried out using stannous chloride and catalytic cupric chloride or copper in aqueous media." In-situ probing provides indirect (NMR, CV) and direct (MS) evidence for the copper(I)-catalyzed formation of an allyltrihalostannane intermediate in very high concentration in water (Scheme 8.6). Hydrophilic palladium complex also efficiently catalyzes the allylation of carbonyl compounds with allyl chlorides or allyl alcohols with SnCl2 under aqueous-organic... 

It has been found that A-tosyl aziridines undergo oxidative addition to palladium complexes to form azapalladacyclobutanes <06JA15415>. Reaction of aziridine 95 with Pd2(dba)3 and 1,10-phenanthroline provides the palladacycle 96 in 45% isolated yield. This compound is an air stable solid. Treatment the palladacycle 96 with catalytic Cul is believed to open the palladacycle to form a copper intermediate, which cyclizes to cyclopentyl alkylpalladium intermediate 97. Loss of Cul then provides the product palladacycle 97 as an air stable solid. Several different aziridines were examined in this reaction. Only a limited set of olefin substituted aziridines provided the azapalladacyclobutanes (e.g. 96). 

Palladium-catalyzed oxidation of 1,4-dienes has also been reported. Thus, Brown and Davidson28 obtained the 1,3-diacetate 25 from oxidation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene by ben-zoquinone in acetic acid with palladium acetate as the catalyst (Scheme 3). Presumably the reaction proceeds via acetoxypalladation-isomerization to give a rr-allyl intermediate, which subsequently undergoes nucleophilic attack by acetate. This principle, i.e. rearrangement of a (allyl)palladium complex, has been applied in nonoxidative palladium-catalyzed reactions of 1,4-dienes by Larock and coworkers29. Akermark and coworkers have demonstrated the stereochemistry of this process by the transformation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene to the ( r-allyl)palladium complex 26 by treatment... 

Few other examples of such reaction sequences have been described to date. Oh has reported the palladium-catalyzed reductive cyclizations of 1,6-enynes in the presence of formic acid or triethylsilane via an alkylpalladium intermediate and its application to organic synthesis. Palladium complexes also catalyze the conversion of a range of enynes to cyclic 6,7-unsaturated carboxylic acids in the presence of CO.260... 

A proposed mechanism of the bis(allene) cyclization involves the formation of the allyl(stannyl)palladium species 6, which undergoes carbocyclization to give vinyl(stannyl)palladium intermediate 7 (Scheme 36). Reductive elimination and cr-bond metathesis may lead to the formation of the m-pentane derivative and the bicyclic product, respectively. The cyclization of allenic aldehydes catalyzed by a palladium complex was also reported.163...
