Transmetallation arylpalladium complexes

Aryl- or alkenylpalladium comple.xcs can be generated in situ by the trans-metallation of the aryl- or alkenylmercury compounds 386 or 389 with Pd(Il) (see Section 6). These species react with 1,3-cydohexadiene via the formation of the TT-allylpalladium intermediate 387, which is attacked intramolecularlv by the amide or carboxylate group, and the 1,2-difunctionalization takes place to give 388 and 390[322]. Similarly, the ort/trt-thallation of benzoic acid followed by transmetallation with Pd(II) forms the arylpalladium complex, which reacts with butadiene to afford the isocoumarin 391, achieving the 1,2-difunctionalization of butadiene[323]. 

The necessity of an activator reagent has been explicitly revealed using arylpalladium complexes containing silanyl residues, which are stable in the absence of activator, but immediately undergo transmetalation upon addition of an activator (Equation (16)) 273... 

Besides rhodium catalysts, palladium complex also can catalyze the addition of aryltrialkoxysilanes to a,(3-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (ketones, aldehydes) and nitroalkenes (Scheme 60).146 The addition of equimolar amounts of SbCl3 and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) was necessary for this reaction to proceed smoothly. The arylpalladium complex, generated by the transmetallation from a putative hypercoordinate silicon compound, was considered to be the catalytically active species. 

Early findings by Suzuki and co-workers [109] showed that the palladium-catalyzed iminocarbonylative cross-coupling reaction between 9-alkyl-9-BBN derivatives, t-butylisocyanide, and arylhalides gives access to alkyl aryl ketones 132 after hydrolysis of the corresponding ketimine intermediates 131. Presumably, the concentration of free isocyanide is kept to a minimum by its coordination with the borane. Formation of an iminoacylpalladium(II) halide 130 by insertion of isocyanide to the newly formed arylpalladium complex followed by a transmetallation step afford the ketimine intermediates 131 (Scheme 8.52). 

The palladation products exhibit reactivity similar to that of the arylpalladium complexes formed by oxidative addition of aryl halides to Pd(0) species, although the reactions are stoichiometric with respect to palladium. Representative examples include vinylation via an olefin insertion process (eq (88)) [119], double and single carbonylation (eq (89) and (90)) [120,121], and alkylation via a transmetallation process (eq (91)) [122].

The most commonly accepted mechanism for this coupling was initially proposed by Hiyama and Hatanaka, which involves three steps.The first step is the oxidative addition of the aryl halide to the palladium(O) catalyst to give arylpalladium complex 1. The second step involves the transmetallation of the arylpalladium complex 1 with the anionic arylsilicate 2 to give bis(aryl)palladium complex 3. Finally, the cross-coupled product 4 is produced and the palladium(O) catalyst is regenerated through reductive elimination of the bis(aryl)palladium(II) complex 3. The key intermediate to this process is the requirement for the pentacoordinate arylsilicate anion 2, typically formed by treatment of the tetracoordinate silane with the activating anion, such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF). 

Palladation of aromatic compounds with Pd(OAc)2 gives the arylpalladium acetate 25 as an unstable intermediate (see Chapter 3, Section 5). A similar complex 26 is formed by the transmetallation of PdX2 with arylmetal compounds of main group metals such as Hg Those intermediates which have the Pd—C cr-bonds react with nucleophiles or undergo alkene insertion to give oxidized products and Pd(0) as shown below. Hence, these reactions proceed by consuming stoichiometric amounts of Pd(II) compounds, which are reduced to the Pd(0) state. Sometimes, but not always, the reduced Pd(0) is reoxidized in situ to the Pd(II) state. In such a case, the whole oxidation process becomes a catalytic cycle with regard to the Pd(II) compounds. This catalytic reaction is different mechanistically, however, from the Pd(0)-catalyzed reactions described in the next section. These stoichiometric and catalytic reactions are treated in Chapter 3. 

Synthetically useful allylstannanes are provided by palladium-catalyzed carbostan-nylation using hexamethylditin (Scheme 16.58) [63]. The reaction mechanism can be rationalized by transmetallation between ditin and a Jt-allylpalladium complex produced by reaction of an allene with an arylpalladium iodide. In this process, hexamethylditin is added to the reaction mixture slowly via a syringe pump to suppress its high reactivity towards the arylpalladium species leading to an arylstannane. 

A new preparative method for allylic indium(m) reagents via a reductive transmetallation of 7r-allylpalladium(n) or 7T-allylnickel(n) complexes with indium(i) salts is reported. This method enables the use of a wide variety of allylic compounds, such as allylic chlorides, acetates, and even allylic alcohols, in combination with Pd or Ni catalysts.43-50 7r-Allylpalladium(ii) resulting from the addition of arylpalladium(n) to allene is also transformed by metallic indium to the corresponding allylindium.51-54 Similarly, propargylindium(m) can be prepared from the corresponding propargyl alcohol derivatives.55-58... 

Mechanistically, this new insertion-CI-Diels-Alder hetero domino sequence can be rationalized as follows (Scheme 64) After the oxidative addition of the aryl halide 115 or 118 to the in situ generated Pd(0) species the arylpalladium halide 120 intramolecularly coordinates and inserts into the tethered triple bond via a syn-carbopaUadation to furnish cyclized vinylpalladium species 121 with a p-acceptor substitution in a stereospecific fashion. Transmetallation of the in situ generated copper acetylide 122 gives rise to the diorganylpalladium complex 123 that readily undergoes a reductive elimination and liberates the electron poor vinylpropargylallyl ether 124. The triethylamine catalyzed propargyl-allene isomerization furnishes the... 

Only palladium- and platinum-containing heterocycles were described between 1995 and 2006. Mateo et a/, reported that iodoaryl stannane 70 reacts with Pd(PPh3)4 to afford palladacycle 71, as a result of an intramolecular Pd/Sn transmetallation of the intermediate oxidative addition arylpalladium(ll) complex (Equation 10) <1996CEJ1596>. 

Intramolecular transmetallation of arylpalladium(ll) and arylplatinum(ll) complexes with silanes and stannanes has been studied by Echavarren and co-workers (Scheme 11) <19980M3661>. 

The 1,2-insertion of alkenes into transition metal-carbon o-bond leads to C-C bond formation under mild conditions, as described in Chapter 6. This reaction is considered to be a crucial step in the coordination polymerization and carbometalation of alkenes catalyzed by transition metal complexes. A common and important carbometalation is the Heck-type arylation or vinylation of alkene catalyzed by Pd complexes [118], The arylation of alkene, most typically, involves the formation of arylpalladium species and insertion of alkene into the Pd-aryl bond as shown in Scheme 5.20. The arylpalladium species is formed by the oxidative addition of aryl halides to Pd(0) complexes or the transmetalation of aryl compounds of main group metals with Pd(II) complexes. Insertion of alkene into the Pd-aryl bond produces 2-arylalkylpalladium species whose y6-hydrogen elimination leads to the arylalkene. Oxidative chlorination of the 2-arylalkylpalladium intermediate forms chloroalkanes as the product. 

The arylation is explained by the following mechanism. Arylpalladium halides 28 are formed by oxidative addition of aryl halides. Then the arylpalladium eno-lates 30 are generated by transmetallation of 28 with alkali enolates of ketones 29. Finally reductive elimination of the arylpalladium enolates 30 affords a-aryl ketones. Hartwig isolated the arylpalladium enolate complexes 31 of ketones, esters and amides, and confirmed formation of or-arylated products on heating [23]. 

B.ii.g. Conclusion. Oxidative addition of aryl haUdes to palladium(O) complexes provides a large variety of arylpaUadium(ll) complexes neutral, anionic, or cationic complexes, as a function of the aryl electrophile (e.g., ArX versus ArOTf) and the exact structure of the palladium(O) involved in the oxidative addition. Moreover, these complexes may be linked by a dynamic equilibrium. The structure of the arylpalladium(II) complexes affects then-reactivity with nucleophiles in the so-called transmetallation step. 

The reactivity of nucleophiles in the transmetallation step as well as the mechanism of the transmetallation and consequently the reductive elimination step depend both on the structure of the nucleophile and the arylpalladium(II) complex formed in the oxidative addition. 

Some fundamental inorganic chenustry that is important for understanding which complexes will undergo the aromatic C—and C—O bond-forming processes will be presented before the catalytic transformations. First, the three reaction types involved in the catalytic cycle to form arylanunes are similar to those found in the catalytic cycle for C—C bond formation oxidative addition of aryl halide to Pd(0) complexes, transmetallation that converts an arylpalladium halide complex to an arylpaUadium amido complex, and reductive elimination to form a C—or C—O bond. The oxidative addition step is identical to the addition that initiates C—C bond-fomting cross-couplings,f f but the steps that form the arylpalladium amido complexes and that produce the arylamine product are different. The mechanism for these steps is discussed after presentation of the scope of the amination process. 

The oxidative addition step probably proceeds through the charge-transfer complex, Ar-X Pd(PPh3)4, to produce the relatively stable arylpalladium(II) halides (or pseudohalides), see Chapter 3. The formation of a stable ionic metal-salt, e.g. MgCl2, is the driving force for the further reaction step, transmetallation of an aryl-group from the arylmetallics to arylnickel(II) or arylpalladium(II) complex. Generally, all... 

The negatively charged base reacts with the arylpalladium(II) halide to give the arylpalladium hydroxide or alkoxide complex, which is able to form the dimeric palladium-boron complex XXIII what is crucial for the transmetallation process [2-6]. It is apparent that the metal cation (from the base) accelerates the formation of the latter, as clearly showed by Zhang and coworkers [15]. They have developed the SM coupling procedure for sterically bulky arylboronic acids when the clear influence of the anion basicity and the cation effect were discovered. The cationic radius is presumably an important parameter which influences the formation of dimeric... 

The reactivity of arylboronic acids is mainly effected by the steric factors. Bulky substituents in orr/zo-positions significantly retard the formation of the afe-eomplex XXII, common arylboronic species which undergoes the transmetallation process to arylpalladium- or arylnickel complexes. However, as mentioned earlier, the use of much stronger bases such as potassium r-butoxide in dry solvents (DME, DME / r-BuOH) [15] or the use of thallium-bases [19] led to the successful SM reaction with reasonable bulky boronic acids. 

These observations were rationahzed by the assumption that a pentacoordinate silane is necessary for the cross-coupHng. Both mono- and difluorosilanes are efficient fluoride ion acceptors (from TASF), thereby accessing a pentacoordinate state (Scheme 7.47). The remaining coordination site on sihcon would presumably be occupied by the hahde from the arylpalladium halide complex to allow for a four-centered transmetallation transition state. This last coordination site would not be accessible with a trifluorosilane because it would readily accept two fluoride ions from the promoter, forming an unreactive coordinatively saturated siliconate, and thereby leaving no site for palladium halide complexation.
