Rate and mechanism of the reaction of alkenes with aryl palladium complexes ligated by a bidentate P,P ligand in Heck reactions.

The regioselectivity of the Heck reaction is supposed to be highly affected by the electronic properties of the alkene and the ionic or neutral character of the aryl palladium(II) complexes involved in the reaction with alkenes. In Heck reactions performed in dmf, [Pd(dppp){dppp(O)}Ph](+) (dppp=1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) is generated in the oxidative addition of PhI with [Pd(0)(dppp)(OAc)](-) formed in situ from Pd(OAc)(2) associated to two equivalents of dppp. [Pd(dppp){dppp(O)}Ph](+) is not very reactive with alkenes (styrene or methyl acrylate); however, it reacts with iodide ions (released in the catalytic reactions) to give [Pd(dppp)IPh] and with acetate ions (used as base) to give [Pd(dppp)(OAc)Ph]. [Pd(dppp)(OAc)Ph] reacts with styrene and methyl acrylate exclusively by an ionic mechanism, that is, via the cationic complex [Pd(dppp)(dmf)Ph](+) formed by dissociation of the acetate ion. The reaction of [Pd(dppp)IPh] is more complex and substrate dependent. It reacts with styrene exclusively by the ionic mechanism via [Pd(dppp)(dmf)Ph](+). [Pd(dppp)IPh] (neutral mechanism) and [Pd(dppp)(dmf)Ph](+) (ionic mechanism) react in parallel with methyl acrylate. [Pd(dppp)(dmf)Ph](+) is more reactive than [Pd(dppp)IPh] but is always generated at lower concentration.

Mechanism of the copper-free palladium-catalyzed Sonagashira reactions: multiple role of amines.

Amines used as bases in copper-free, palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira reactions play a multiple role. The oxidative addition of iodobenzene with [Pd(0)(PPh(3))(4)] is faster when performed in the presence of amines (piperidine>morpholine). Amines also substitute one ligand L in trans-[PdI(Ph)(L)(2)] (L=PPh(3), AsPh(3)) formed in the oxidative addition. This reversible reaction, which gives [PdI(Ph)L(R(2)NH)], is favored in the order AsPh(3)>PPh(3) and piperidine>morpholine. Two mechanisms are proposed for Sonogashira reactions, depending on the ligand and the amine. When L=PPh(3), its substitution by the amine in trans-[PdI(Ph)(PPh(3))(2)] is less favored than that of the alkyne. A mechanism involving prior coordination of the alkyne is suggested, followed by deprotonation of the ligated alkyne by the amine. When L=AsPh(3), its substitution in trans-[PdI(Ph)(AsPh(3))(2)] by the piperidine is easier than that by the alkyne, leading to a different mechanism: substitution of AsPh(3) by the amine is followed by substitution of the second AsPh(3) by the alkyne to generate [PdI(Ph)(amine)(alkyne)]. Deprotonation of the ligated alkyne by an external amine leads to the coupling product. This explains why the catalytic reactions are less efficient with AsPh(3) than with PPh(3) as ligand.

Mechanism of the palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of arylboronic acids: key involvement of a palladium peroxo complex.

The mechanism of the palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of arylboronic acids ArB(OH)(2) (Ar = 4-Z-C(6)H(4) with Z = MeO, H, CN) in the presence of dioxygen, leading to symmetrical biaryls, has been fully elucidated. The peroxo complex (eta(2)-O(2))PdL(2) (L = PPh(3)), generated in the reaction of dioxygen with the Pd(0) catalyst, was found to play a crucial role. Indeed, it reacts with the arylboronic acid to generate an adduct (coordination of one oxygen atom of the peroxo complex to the oxophilic boron atom of the arylboronic acid) characterized by (31)P NMR spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. This adduct reacts with a second molecule of arylboronic acid to generate trans-ArPd(OH)L(2) complexes. A transmetalation by the arylboronic acid gives trans-ArPdArL(2) complexes. The biaryl is then released in a reductive elimination. This reaction is at the origin of the formation of biaryls as byproducts in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions when they are not conducted under oxygen-free atmosphere.

Active anionic zero-valent palladium catalysts: characterization by density functional calculations.

This works uses DFT (B3LYP/LACVP*(+)//B3LYP/LACVP* level) to ascertain the existence of the tricoordinate, anionic zero-valent palladium complexes that were postulated as the active species in the catalytic cycles of Pd-catalyzed Heck and cross-coupling reactions. The variety of complexes studied (1 and 2), include [Pd(PR(3))(2)X](-) species, in which R=H, Me, vinyl, and phenyl, and X=Cl, Br, I, AcO, and TFA, as well as bidentate complexes, [Pd[Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)Ph(2)P]X](-), in which X=Cl, AcO and n=3-6. The study shows that these complexes exist as distinct minima in the gas phase as well as in THF. In addition, it provides geometric features and Pd--X(-) dissociation energies for all these complexes as well as some NMR and IR data, which show a clear distinction in these features between the tri- and dicoordinate Pd(0) species. An orbital interaction model and perturbation theory arguments account for the bonding mechanism and rationalize all the trends in the stability of the Pd--X bond. These trends include the effects of variation of X, R, and the length of the linker in the bidentate ligands.

Phosphorus-nitrogen-phosphorus ligands: cooperative effects between nitrogen and phosphorus substituents on catalytic activity.

A new generation of PNP compounds bearing different diarylphosphine groups were prepared and used as ligands in palladium-catalysed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. Rates of oxidative addition of iodobenzene to (PNP)Pd[0] complexes were measured using UV spectroscopy. Synergistic effects between the N- and P- substituents were identified and correlated in redox and catalytic chemistry.

Mechanism of the Stille reaction catalyzed by palladium ligated to arsine ligand: PhPdI(AsPh3)(DMF) is the species reacting with vinylstannane in DMF.

The kinetics of the reaction of PhPdI(AsPh(3))(2) (formed via the fast oxidative addition of PhI with Pd(0)(AsPh(3))(2)) with a vinyl stannane CH(2)[double bond]CH[bond]Sn(n-Bu)(3) has been investigated in DMF. This reaction (usually called transmetalation step) is the prototype of the rate determining second step of the catalytic cycle of Stille reactions. It is established here that the transmetalation proceeds through PhPdI(AsPh(3))(DMF), generated by the dissociation of one ligand AsPh(3) from PhPdI(AsPh(3))(2). PhPdI(AsPh(3))(DMF) is the reactive species, which leads to styrene through its reaction with CH(2)[double bond]CH[bond]SnBu(3). Consequently, in DMF, the overall nucleophilic attack mainly proceeds via a mechanism involving PhPdI(AsPh(3))(DMF) as the central reactive complex and not PhPdI(AsPh(3))(2). The dimer [Ph(2)Pd(2)(mu(2)-I)(2)(AsPh(3))(2)] has been independently synthesized and characterized by its X-ray structure. In DMF, this dimer dissociates quantitatively into PhPdI(AsPh(3))(DMF), which reacts with CH(2)[double bond]CH[bond]SnBu(3). The rate constant for the reaction of PhPdI(AsPh(3))(DMF) with CH(2)[double bond]CH[bond]SnBu(3) has been determined in DMF for each situation and was found to be comparable.

Nickel- and Palladium-Catalyzed Homocoupling of Aryl Triflates. Scope, Limitation, and Mechanistic Aspects.

Whereas the direct reduction of aryl triflates affords mainly phenols and some arenes, the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium or nickel results in the formation of biaryls. The homocoupling is performed in the presence of an electron source, either a cathode or zinc powder. A judicious choice of the metal (nickel or palladium), the ligand (monodentate or bidentate phosphine), and the reduction process (electrochemical or chemical) allows the synthesis of functional symmetrical biaryls. Nickel and palladium complexes ligated by bidentate ligands such as NiCl(2)(dppf) and Pd(OAc)(2) + 1 BINAP are very efficient for the homocoupling of 1-naphthyl triflate, since the dimer was obtained in almost quantitative yield. However, the homocoupling is sensitive to steric hindrance, excluding for the moment the synthesis of atropisomers. The homocoupling proceeds via an activation of the C-O bond of the aryl triflate by a palladium(0) (or a nickel(0)) complex, providing an intermediate arylpalladium(II) (or nickel(II)) complex that after activation by electron transfer affords a new complex able to undergo a second oxidative addition with the aryl triflates.

Chemical and Electrochemical Asymmetric Dihydroxylation of Olefins in I(2)-K(2)CO(3)-K(2)OsO(2)(OH)(4) and I(2)-K(3)PO(4)/K(2)HPO(4)-K(2)OsO(2)(OH)(4) Systems with Sharpless' Ligand.

Iodine-assisted chemical and electrochemical asymmetric dihydroxylation of various olefins in I(2)-K(2)CO(3)-K(2)OsO(2)(OH)(4) and I(2)-K(3)PO(4)/K(2)HPO(4)-K(2)OsO(2)(OH)(4) systems with Sharpless' ligand provided the optically active glycols in excellent isolated yields and high enantiomeric excesses. Iodine (I(2)) was used stoichiometrically for the chemical dihydroxylation, and good results were obtained with nonconjugated olefins in contrast to the case of potassium ferricyanide as a co-oxidant. The potentiality of I(2) as a co-oxidant under stoichiometric conditions has been proven to be effective as an oxidizing mediator in electrolysis systems. Iodine-assisted asymmetric electro-dihydroxylation of olefins in either a t-BuOH/H(2)O(1/1)-K(2)CO(3)/(DHQD)(2)PHAL-(Pt) or t-BuOH/H(2)O(1/1)-K(3)PO(4)/K(2)HPO(4)/(DHQD)(2)PHAL-(Pt) system in the presence of potassium osmate in an undivided cell was investigated in detail. Irrespective of the substitution pattern, all the olefins afforded the diols in high yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses. A plausible mechanism is discussed on the basis of cyclic voltammograms as well as experimental observations.
