Palladium complexes reactions

Now we open flask A. We can put a piece of glass and smell it once methanol is evaporated. There is no safrol smell, it s different, it s the dialkoxy derivative of safrol, rxn is completed perfectly. We add now 75 cc of water and stir 45 minutes more. There s a precipitate. We filter the reaction. I don t know what is this, may be also black tar, I thought this may be palladium complexes, this is a... 

Hard carbon nucleophiles of organometallic compounds react with 7r-allyl-palladium complexes. A steroidal side-chain is introduced regio- and stereo-selectively by the reaction of the steroidal 7T-allylpalladium complex 319 with the alkenylzirconium compound 320[283]. 

Addition of several organomercury compounds (methyl, aryl, and benzyl) to conjugated dienes in the presence of Pd(II) salts generates the ir-allylpalladium complex 422, which is subjected to further transformations. A secondary amine reacts to give the tertiary allylic amine 423 in a modest yield along with diene 424 and reduced product 425[382,383]. Even the unconjugated diene 426 is converted into the 7r-allyllic palladium complex 427 by the reaction of PhHgCI via the elimination and reverse readdition of H—Pd—Cl[383]. 

Acetyl chlotide is reduced by vatious organometaUic compounds, eg, LiAlH (18). / fZ-Butyl alcohol lessens the activity of LiAlH to form lithium tti-/-butoxyalumium hydtide [17476-04-9] C22H2gA102Li, which can convert acetyl chlotide to acetaldehyde [75-07-0] (19). Triphenyl tin hydtide also reduces acetyl chlotide (20). Acetyl chlotide in the presence of Pt(II) or Rh(I) complexes, can cleave tetrahydrofuran [109-99-9] C HgO, to form chlorobutyl acetate [13398-04-4] in about 72% yield (21). Although catalytic hydrogenation of acetyl chlotide in the Rosenmund reaction is not very satisfactory, it is catalyticaHy possible to reduce acetic anhydride to ethylidene diacetate [542-10-9] in the presence of acetyl chlotide over palladium complexes (22). Rhodium trichloride, methyl iodide, and ttiphenylphosphine combine into a complex that is active in reducing acetyl chlotide (23). 

Succinic anhydride is manufactured by catalytic hydrogenation of maleic anhydride [108-31-6]. In the most widely used commercial process this reaction is performed in the Hquid phase, at temperatures of 120—180°C and at moderate pressures, in the range of 500—4000 kPa (72—580 psi). Catalysts mentioned in the patent Hterature include nickel (124), Raney nickel (125,126), palladium on different carriers (127,128), and palladium complexes (129). The hydrogenation of the double bond is exothermic Ai/ = —133.89 kJ/mol (—32 kcal/mol) (130). 

Alkenyl zirconium complexes derived from alkynes form C—C bonds when added to aHyUc palladium complexes. The stereochemistry differs from that found in reactions of corresponding carbanions with aHyl—Pd in a way that suggests the Cp2ZrRCl alkylates first at Pd, rather than by direct attack on the aUyl group (259). 

In hydrocarboxylation, the Reppe reaction, the catalyst can be nickel or cobalt carbonyl or a palladium complex where R = H or alkyl. 

The nickel or cobalt catalyst causes isomerization of the double bond resulting in a mixture of C-19 isomers. The palladium complex catalyst produces only the 9-(10)-carboxystearic acid. The advantage of the hydrocarboxylation over the hydroformylation reaction is it produces the carboxyUc acids in a single step and obviates the oxidation of the aldehydes produced by hydroformylation. 

The palladium-promoted conversion of 1,3-dienes to pyrroles proceeds via 4-acetoxy-2-alkenylpalladium complexes (Scheme 50g) (81CC59), and a similar pathway may be involved in the palladium mediated reaction of but-2-ene-l,4-diol with primary amines to give A-substituted pyrroles (74CC931). 

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... 

The reversible reaction of tri-n-butylstannylfuran with the cyclometallated palladium complex 24 yields the ti C) coordinated 2-furyl complex 25 (98JA11016). 

It was found [99JCS(PI )3713] that, in all cases, the formation of the deiodinated products 38 and 39 was accompanied by formation of the diynes 40 which were isolated in 60-90% yield. The authors believed that the mechanism of deiodination may be represented as an interaction ofbis(triphenylphosphine)phenylethynyl-palladium(II) hydride with the 4-iodopyrazole, giving rise to the bisftriphenylphos-phine)phenylethynyl palladium(II) iodide complex which, due to the reductive elimination of 1 -iodoalkyne and subsequent addition of alk-1 -yne, converts into the initial palladium complex. Furthermore, the interaction of 1-iodoalkynes with the initial alkyne in the presence of Cul and EtsN (the Cadiot-Chodkiewicz reaction) results in the formation of the observed disubstituted butadiynes 40 (Scheme 51). 

The Heck reaction is considered to be the best method for carbon-carbon bond formation by substitution of an olefinic proton. In general, yields are good to very good. Sterically demanding substituents, however, may reduce the reactivity of the alkene. Polar solvents, such as methanol, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide or hexamethylphosphoric triamide, are often used. Reaction temperatures range from 50 to 160 °C. There are various other important palladium-catalyzed reactions known where organopalladium complexes are employed however, these reactions must not be confused with the Heck reaction. 

The original Sonogashira reaction uses copper(l) iodide as a co-catalyst, which converts the alkyne in situ into a copper acetylide. In a subsequent transmeta-lation reaction, the copper is replaced by the palladium complex. The reaction mechanism, with respect to the catalytic cycle, largely corresponds to the Heck reaction.Besides the usual aryl and vinyl halides, i.e. bromides and iodides, trifluoromethanesulfonates (triflates) may be employed. The Sonogashira reaction is well-suited for the synthesis of unsymmetrical bis-2xy ethynes, e.g. 23, which can be prepared as outlined in the following scheme, in a one-pot reaction by applying the so-called sila-Sonogashira reaction ... 

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.
