Carboxylate anions, dianions and esterenolates provide simultaneous protection and activation for directed carbometalation reactions. Advantage can be taken of the bis‐carbanionic character of the intermediate for further controlled CC bond forming reactions.
Palladium-catalyzedcarbonylation of allylamines under CO (50atm) at 110°C proceeds highly efficiently to give the corresponding β,γ-unsaturated amides. The carbonylation occurs at the less substituted carbon of allyl units to give linear amides with high regioselectivity. The reaction can be rationalized by assuming the mechanism which involves oxidative addition of palladium (0) species to allylamines
Palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of allyl phosphates under CO (1 atm) at 50-degrees-C proceeds highly efficiently to give the corresponding beta,gamma-unsaturated esters. The carbonylation of geranyl phosphate ((E)-11) under CO (1 atm) at 50-degrees-C gave ethyl ester of homogeranic acid ((E)-12) stereoselectively. The carbonylation takes place at the least substituted allylic positions with inversion of configuration. Typically, the methoxycarbonylation of cis-5-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl phosphate (cis-16) gave trans-dimethyl 2-cyclohexene-1,5-dicarboxylate (trans-17) selectively. Alkoxycarbonylation of allyl acetates is performed for the first time in the presence of a catalytic amount of bromide ion. The reaction can be rationalized by assuming the mechanism which involves oxidative addition of palladium(0) species to allyl acetates to give pi-allylpalladium acetate, fast ligand exchange of the acetate with bromide, insertion of carbon monoxide to give acylpalladium species, and alkoxylation.
