Palladium-Catalyzed Acetoxylation of Arenes by Novel Sulfinyl N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligand Complexes
摘要:
A series of novel ligands based on N-heterocyclic carbene and sulfoxide functionalities have been prepared and characterized. Pd(II) complexes have been synthesized by transmetalation from the corresponding NHC-Ag derivatives, and their behavior as catalysts has been studied in arene C H bond oxidative activation. Studies conducted toward the elucidation of the reaction mechanism of the acetoxylation suggest a C-H activation step at Pd(IV) rather than Pd(II) intermediates.
