The previously reported ortho-metalated complexes [Pd(C,N-ArCH2CRR'NH2-2)(mu-X)](2) derived from phenethylamine (Ar = C6H4, R = R' = H, X = Cl, Br), phentermine (Ar = C6H4, R = R' = Me, X = Cl), (L)-phenylalanine methyl ester (Ar = C6H4, R = H, R' = CO2Me, X = Cl, Br)), and (L)-tryptophan methyl ester (Ar = C8H5N, R = H, R' = CO2Me, X = Cl) react with various allenes to give (1) the corresponding eta(3)-allyl complexes derived from the insertion of one molecule of the allene into the Pd-C bond, the formation of which has been studied by DFT using a model complex, or (2) Pd(0) and the tetrahydro-3-benzazepinium salts, resulting from the decomposition of the above mentioned eta(3)-allyl complexes, containing an exocyclic double bond, which, subsequently, react with a base to afford the corresponding benzazepines. The regiochemistry of these decomposition reactions has been studied and compared wit:a that described for similar processes involving five-membered palladacycles. The crystal structures of the salts of some benzazepines and one isoquinoline, derived from a five-membered palladacycle, have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies.
