Methyl/Phenyl Exchange between Palladium and a Phosphine Ligand. Consequences for Catalytic Coupling Reactions
摘要:
The methyl ligand of trans-CH3Pd(PPh(3))(2)I (1) exchanges with a phenyl from its PPh(3) ligand, initially giving PhPd(PPh(3))(PMePh(2))I (4). The PMePh(2) ligand of 4 then exchanges with a PPh(3) of 1 to give CH3Pd(PPh(3))(PMePh(2))I and with the PMePh(2) ligand of more 4 to give PhPd(PPh(3))(2)I and trans-PhPd(PMePh(2))(2)I. The observed rate constant for the disappearance of 1 is about 7 x 10(-5) s(-1) at 75 degrees C. The rearrangement is irreversible, does not involve a free phosphonium cation, and does not require phosphine dissociation. The rearrangement competes with transmetalation when 1 is treated with tin reagents, leading to coupling products incorporating phenyls from PPh(3). Relatively electropositive phosphine substituents seem reluctant to rearrange onto palladium.

Mononuclear trans-(PPh3)(2)Pd(I)(C6H4-4-I) (3), which is accessible by the oxidative addition of C6H4-1,4-I-2 (2) to (Ph3P)(4)Pd (1), reacts with [AgOTf] (4) in a 1:1 molar ratio to give trans-(PPh3)(2)Pd(C6H4-4-I)(OTf) (5). Complex 5 affords on treatment with 0.5 equivalents of 4,4'-dicyanobiphenyl (6) homobimetallic trans-[(PPh3)(2)(C6H4-4-I)Pd <-- Nequivalent toC-C6H4](2)(OTf)(2) (7). The latter species rearranges to give trans-[(PPh3)(2)(C6H4-4-PPh3)Pd <-- Nequivalent toC-C6H4](2)(OTf)(4) (8) and [(PPh3)(C6H4-4-PPh3)Pd(mu-I)](2)(OTf)(2) (9), respectively. A possible mechanism for the formation of 8 and 9 will be presented. The solid-state structure of 8 is reported. In 8 two [trans-(PPh3)(C6H4-4-PPh3)Pd](2+) fragments are bridged by the 4,4'-dicyanobiphenyl unit. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
