Structural analysis of chiral complexes of palladium(0) with 15-membered triolefinic macrocyclic ligands.

The complete structural analysis of the palladium complexes of the triolefinic macrocycles (E,E,E)-1,6,11-tris(arylsulfonyl)-1,6,11-triazacyclopentadeca-3,8,13-trienes, which featured from three identical to three different aryl groups, was achieved by performing X-ray diffraction studies, NMR spectroscopy, and other calculations. The stereochemical complexity is determined by the different isomers formed through complexation of the metal to one or other face of each of the three olefins involved. The palladacyclopropane formulation of the palladium-olefin interaction offers a clear picture of the stereogenicity of the olefin carbon atoms that are complexed to the metal. The energetically favorable isomers were identified in the solid-state and in solution by performing X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopic analysis, respectively.

Transition metal-mediated intramolecular [2+2+2] cycloisomerizations of cyclic triynes and enediynes.

[reaction: see text] Nitrogen-containing 15-membered triacetylenic macrocycles known as 1,6,11-tris(arylsulfonyl)-1,6,11-triazacyclopentadeca-3,8,13-triynes (1) and enediynic macrocycles called 1,6,11-tris(arylsulfonyl)-1,6,11-triazacyclopentadeca-3-ene-8,13-diynes (4 and 5) were satisfactorily prepared. [2+2+2] cycloisomerization processes catalyzed by transition metals were tested in the above-mentioned macrocycles. Readily available and familiar cyclotrimerization precatalysts were examined for efficiency. Among them, the RhCl(CO)(PPh(3))(2) complex was found to catalyze the cycloisomerization reaction giving the desired cycloadducts in high yields.

Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Allylation of Highly Acidic and Nonnucleophilic Anilines. The Origin of Stereochemical Scrambling When Using Allylic Carbonates.

Acidic anilines such as diphenylamine, phenothiazine, and nitroanilines are efficiently allylated under palladium catalysis using allyl carbonates as allylating reagents. A stereochemical study of the reactions of ethyl cis-5-methyl-2-cyclohexenylcarbonate with 4-nitro- and 2,4-dinitroaniline was performed. Bidentate phosphines as stabilizing ligands gave clean retention of configuration whereas triphenylphosphine permitted cis-trans isomerization of the allylic carbonate, the allylation reactions occurring under Curtin-Hammet preequilibrium conditions.

(1-(Dimethylamino)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ethane)(eta(3)-1-arylallyl)palladium Tetrafluoroborates. Preparation, Isomeric Equilibria, and Correlations of NMR Chemical Shifts with Hammett Substituent Constants.

13C NMR differences of chemical shifts (delta(X) - delta(H)) of allyl carbon atoms in a series of trans-(1-(diphenylphosphino)-2-(dimethylamino)ethane)(eta(3)-1-arylallyl)palladium tetrafluoroborates, X ranging from NO(2) to OMe, correlate very well with sigma Hammett constants for C-1 and with sigma(+) for C-3, this carbon atom being in a trans relationship with the positively charged nitrogen atom.
