Palladium complexes ligands

NMR signals of the amino acid ligand that are induced by the ring current of the diamine ligand" ". From the temperature dependence of the stability constants of a number of ternary palladium complexes involving dipeptides and aromatic amines, the arene - arene interaction enthalpies and entropies have been determined" ". It turned out that the interaction is generally enthalpy-driven and counteracted by entropy. Yamauchi et al. hold a charge transfer interaction responsible for this effect. 

The ease of formation of the carbene depends on the nucleophilicity of the anion associated with the imidazolium. For example, when Pd(OAc)2 is heated in the presence of [BMIM][Br], the formation of a mixture of Pd imidazolylidene complexes occurs. Palladium complexes have been shown to be active and stable catalysts for Heck and other C-C coupling reactions [34]. The highest activity and stability of palladium is observed in the ionic liquid [BMIM][Brj. Carbene complexes can be formed not only by deprotonation of the imidazolium cation but also by direct oxidative addition to metal(O) (Scheme 5.3-3). These heterocyclic carbene ligands can be functionalized with polar groups in order to increase their affinity for ionic liquids. While their donor properties can be compared to those of donor phosphines, they have the advantage over phosphines of being stable toward oxidation. 

Helquist et al. [129] have reported molecular mechanics calculations to predict the suitability of a number of chiral-substituted phenanthrolines and their corresponding palladium-complexes for use in asymmetric nucleophilic substitutions of allylic acetates. Good correlation was obtained with experimental results, the highest levels of asymmetric induction being predicted and obtained with a readily available 2-(2-bornyl)-phenanthroline ligand (90 in Scheme 50). Kocovsky et al. [130] prepared a series of chiral bipyridines, also derived from monoterpene (namely pinocarvone or myrtenal). They synthesized and characterized corresponding Mo complexes, which were found to be moderately enantioselective in allylic substitution (up to 22%). 

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). 

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... 

A series of new palladium complexes 26 bearing a phosphine-functionalised NHC ligand has been shown to be more efficient than typical catalytic systems (i.e. Pd(OAc), PPhj) for the reaction depicted in Scheme 7.10 [55], In fact, these conditions afforded the 9-benzylidene-97f-fluorene in higher yields when iodobenzene was used, whereas the reaction of the less reactive phenyl bromide with diphenylacetylene was achieved for the first time affording the desired product in moderate to good yields. 

Fagnou and co-workers reported on the use of a palladium source in the presence of different phosphine ligands for the intramolecular direct arylation reaction of arenes with bromides [56]. Later, they discovered that new conditions employing palladium complex 27 promoted the direct arylation of a broad range of aryl chlorides to form six- and five-membered ring biaryls including different functionalities as ether, amine, amide and alkyl (Scheme 7.11) [57]. 

The conversion of ethylene to acetaldehyde using a soluble palladium complex, developed in the late 1950s, was one of the early applications of homogeneous catalysis and the first organo-palladium reaction practised on an industrial scale [40], Typically this reaction requires stoichiometric amounts of CuCl under aerobic conditions. The use of copper represents not only an environmental issue, but often limits the scope of ligands that can be used in conjunction with Pd.

Hydrosilylation of dienes accompanied by cyclization is emerging as a potential route to the synthesis of functionalized carbocycles. However, the utility of cycliza-tion/hydrosilylation has been Umited because of the absence of an asymmetric protocol. One example of asymmetric cycUzation/hydrosilylation has been reported very recently using a chiral pyridine-oxazoUne ligand instead of 1,10-phenanthroline of the cationic palladium complex (53) [60]. As shown in Scheme 3-21, the pyridine-oxazoUne Ugand is more effective than the bisoxazoUne ligand in this asymmetric cyclization/hydrosilylation of a 1,6-diene.
