Reaction of ethene with CO in CH3OD in the presence of a catalyst prepared in situ from [Pd(DBPMB)(DBA)] (DBPMB = 1,2-bis[(di-tert-butyl)phosphinomethyl]benzene, DBA = dibenzylideneacetone) and methanesulfonic acid under conditions of good gas mixing gives a 1 ∶ 1 mixture of CH2DCH2CO2Me and CH3CHDCO2Me with no H incorporated into the CH3OD. If the gas mixing is less efficient, the methyl propanoate has 0–5 D atoms incorporated in the ethyl group, CH3OD exchanges to give increasing amounts of CH3OH throughout the reaction and there is a slight increase in the less deuteriated products with reaction time. Significant D incorporation into unreacted ethene is also observed. These results are interpreted in terms of a hydride mechanism with the rates of the individual steps under conditions of good mixing being: reversible H migration
to coordinated ethene > CO coordination ≫ C2H4 exchange > H/D exchange.
在由 [Pd(DBPMB)(DBA)] 原位制备的催化剂存在下,乙烯与 CO 在 CH3OD 中反应(DBPMB = 1,2-双[(二叔丁基)膦甲基]苯,DBA = 二亚苄基丙酮)与甲磺酸在良好气体混合的条件下得到CH2DCH2CO2Me和CH3CHDCO2Me的1∶1混合物,且CH3OD中没有掺入H。如果气体混合效率较低,则丙酸甲酯的乙基中会掺入 0-5 个 D 原子,CH3OD 在整个反应过程中会交换,产生越来越多的 CH3OH,并且随着反应时间的推移,氘化程度较低的产物会略有增加。还观察到 D 大量掺入未反应的乙烯中。这些结果根据氢化物机理进行解释,在良好混合的条件下各个步骤的速率为: 可逆的 H 迁移
配位乙烯>CO配位≫C2H4交换>H/D交换。
