Direct generation of nucleophilic chiral palladium enolate from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds: catalytic enantioselective Michael reaction with enones.

Generation of chiral palladium enolates from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with the palladium aqua complex and its application to the highly efficient catalytic enantioselective Michael reaction with enones are described. The palladium aqua complexes are likely to supply Brønsted base and Brønsted acid successively during the reaction. The former activates the carbonyl compounds to give chiral palladium enolates, and the latter cooperatively activates enones. Using a catalytic amount (2-10 mol %) of the palladium complexes, the various 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds including diketones and beta-ketoesters were converted to the desired Michael adducts in good yields (69-92%) with excellent enantiomeric excesses (89-99% ee).

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of carboxylic anhydrides with arylboronic acids: a DFT study.

The mechanism of the cross-coupling of phenylboronic acid with acetic anhydride, a viable model of the widely used Suzuki reaction, has been studied by DFT calculations at the BP86/6-31G level of theory. Two alternative catalytic cycles have been investigated, one starting from a neutral Pd(0)L(2) complex, the other from an anionic "Jutand-type" [Pd(0)L(2)X](-) species. The reaction profiles are in good agreement with the experimental findings, as both pathways require only moderate activation energies. Both pathways are dominated by cis-configured square-planar palladium(II)diphosphine intermediates. Despite careful investigations, we did not find in this model reaction any evidence for five-coordinate palladium(II) intermediates, which are commonly believed to cause the profound effects of counterions in palladium-catalyzed transformations. Instead, our calculations suggest that the higher catalytic activity of anionic complexes, such as [Pd(PMe(3))(2)OAc](-), may arise from their stronger ability to coordinate to carbon electrophiles. The transmetalation sequence is the same for both catalytic cycles, involving the dissociation of one phosphine ligand from the palladium. In the decisive transition state, in which the phenyl group is transferred from boron to palladium, the acetate base is found to be in a bridging coordination between these two atoms.

Controlling structure from the bottom-up: structural and optical properties of layer-by-layer assembled palladium coordination-based multilayers.

Layer-by-layer assembly of two palladium coordination-based multilayers on silicon and glass substrates is presented. The new assemblies consist of rigid-rod chromophores connected by terminal pyridine moieties to palladium centers. Both colloidal palladium and PdCl2(PhCN)2 were used in order to determine the effect of the metal complex precursor on multilayer structure and optical properties. The multilayers were formed by an iterative wet-chemical deposition process at room temperature in air on a siloxane-based template layer. Twelve consecutive deposition steps have been demonstrated resulting in structurally regular assemblies with an equal amount of chromophore and palladium added in each molecular bilayer. The optical intensity characteristics of the metal-organic films are clearly a function of the palladium precursor employed. The colloid-based system has a UV-vis absorption maximum an order of magnitude stronger than that of the PdCl2-based multilayer. The absorption maximum of the PdCl2-based film exhibits a significant red shift of 23 nm with the addition of 12 layers. Remarkably, the structure and physiochemical properties of the submicron scale PdCl2-based structures are determined by the configuration of the approximately 15 angstroms thick template layer. The refractive index of the PdCl2-based film was determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry. Well-defined three-dimensional structures, with a dimension of 5 microm, were obtained using photopatterned template monolayers. The properties and microstructure of the films were studied by UV-vis spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray reflectivity (XRR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and aqueous contact angle measurements (CA).

Aromatization of enamines promoted by a stoichiometric amount of palladium(II) salts: a novel method for the synthesis of aromatic amines.

Enamines (1a-r) prepared from cyclohexanones, cyclohexane-1,3-diones, or tetralones led to arylamines (2a-r) in one pot when treated with a stoichiometric amount of palladium salts [PdCl2-(MeCN)2] in acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine at room temperature or at elevated temperature, in some cases for 5 min to 2 h. The initial electrophilic attack of palladium chloride on the beta-carbon of the enamines led to a sigma-palladium species (8) which triggered a series of reactions (-->9-->10-->11-->12) destined for aromatization to give 2a-r in good yields. The intervention of such a sigma-palladium species has been attested by a trapping experiment. On the basis of this reaction mechanism, we have developed another new process capable of transforming acyclic compounds having 6-en-2-one frameworks (16, 23, 25) to arylamines (2s-u) when their enamines were treated under the similar conditions as above, featuring again the formation of sigma-palladium species such as 8 as the initial key intermediate.

Palladium-copper catalyzed synthesis of benzofused heterocycles with two heteroatoms: novel and highly regio- and stereoselective syntheses of (E)-2-(2-arylvinyl)-3-tosyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazoles and (E)-2-alkyl(aryl)idene-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazines.

A highly novel, general, and convenient palladium and copper-catalyzed procedure has been developed for the synthesis of (E)-2-(2-arylvinyl)-3-tosyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazoles 28-40. 3-(2-Aminophenylthio)prop-1-yne 1 reacts with aryl iodides 2-14 under palladium-copper catalysis to yield the disubstituted alkynes 15-27 which after tosylation undergo a novel cyclization with CuI in the presence of triethylamine in THF to (E)-2-(2-arylvinyl)-3-tosyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazoles 28-40 rather than to the expected 3-alkylidene-4-tosyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazines 41. The reaction is highly regio- and stereoselective. The synthesis of 2-(2-arylethyl)-3-tosylbenzothiazolines 42-47, 2-(2-arylvinyl)benzothiazoles 48-54, and a novel 5-substituted uracil derivative 55 of potential biological importance is also being reported. Similarly, the palladium-copper-catalyzed arylation of S-[2-(N-prop-2'-ynyl)aminophenyl]-N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate 58 with aryl iodides yields the disubstituted alkynes 59 which on cyclization with KOH in methanol leads to (E)-2-(2-aryl)methylidene-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazines 61. The reaction of the diiodo compounds 12-14a, however, with 58 under palladium-copper-catalyzed reactions involves the participation of only one of the iodo groups in the heteroannulation process giving compounds 61i and 61j. These are amenable to further palladium-catalyzed reactions and afford polyunsaturated heteroaromatic compounds 62 and 63.

Palladium(II) Acetate-Tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) Chloride: A Novel Catalytic Couple for the Intramolecular Heck Reaction.

A series of crotyl ethers underwent intramolecular cyclizations in the presence of a novel catalytic couple, composed of tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) chloride and palladium(II) acetate, under Heck conditions initially described by Jeffery.(1) The data indicated that the combination of these two metal catalysts formed a synergistic interaction that mediated intramolecular couplings in a superior manner as compared to the use of palladium(II) acetate alone. When tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) chloride was added to the system, a distinct increase in rate and selectivity for the endocyclic form of the bicyclic ether products was generally observed. In addition, changing parameters such as dilution and intial pot temperature appeared to significantly affect rate and selectivity in the experiments involving the catalytic couple, but not as drastically with those that were done only in the presence of palladium(II) acetate. Substitution of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) acetate for palladium(II) acetate provided an outcome that slightly favored the endocyclic form of the bicyclic ether, but when tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) chloride was added as a cocatalyst, the ratio clearly favored the exocyclic isomer.

Oxidic or metallic palladium: which is the active phase in pd-catalyzed aerobic alcohol oxidation?

In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy combined with on-line catalytic measurements using FT-IR spectroscopy unequivocally identified that metallic palladium is the more active phase in the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol than palladium oxide. The aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol in cyclohexane at 50 degrees C was low over oxidized 0.5%Pd/Al2O3 and 5%Pd/Al2O3 catalysts. XANES and EXAFS showed that the catalysts in the as-received state were almost fully oxidized and no reduction of the palladium constituent was observed during time-on-stream. After in situ reduction by hydrogen-saturated cyclohexane, the catalysts were much more active (over 50 times) than before reduction. Both XANES and EXAFS uncovered that the palladium constituent was mainly in a reduced state under these conditions of high catalytic activity. This demonstrates that metallic palladium is the active phase for alcohol dehydrogenation.

Evidence for a late chondritic veneer in the Earth's mantle from high-pressure partitioning of palladium and platinum

The high-pressure solubility in silicate liquids of moderately siderophile 'iron-loving' elements (such as nickel and cobalt) has been used to suggest that, in the early Earth, an equilibrium between core-forming metals and the silicate mantle was established at the bottom of a magma ocean. But observed concentrations of the highly siderophile elements--such as the platinum-group elements platinum, palladium, rhenium, iridium, ruthenium and osmium--in the Earth's upper mantle can be explained by such a model only if their metal-silicate partition coefficients at high pressure are orders of magnitude lower than those determined experimentally at one atmosphere (refs 3-8). Here we present an experimental determination of the solubility of palladium and platinum in silicate melts as a function of pressure to 16 GPa (corresponding to about 500 km depth in the Earth). We find that both the palladium and platinum metal-silicate partition coefficients, derived from solubility, do not decrease with pressure--that is, palladium and platinum retain a strong preference for the metal phase even at high pressures. Consequently the observed abundances of palladium and platinum in the upper mantle seem to be best explained by a 'late veneer' addition of chondritic material to the upper mantle following the cessation of core formation.

Condensation reactions of monomeric hydroxo palladium complexes with active methyl and methylene compounds.

Heating a suspension of the monomeric hydroxo palladium complex of the type [Pd(N-N)(C(6)F(5))(OH)](N-N = bipy, Me(2)bipy, phen or tmeda) in methylketone (acetone or methylisobutylketone) under reflux affords the corresponding ketonyl palladium complex [Pd(N-N)(C(6)F(5))(CH(2)COR)]. On the other hand, the reaction of the hydroxo palladium complexes [Pd(N-N)(C(6)F(5))(OH)](N-N = bipy, phen or tmeda) with diethylmalonate or malononitrile yields the C-bound enolate palladium complexes [Pd(N-N)(CHX(2))(C(6)F(5))](X = CO(2)Et or CN), and the reaction of [Pd(N-N)(C(6)F(5))(OH)](N-N = bipy or phen) with nitromethane gives the nitromethyl palladium complexes [Pd(N-N)(CH(2)NO(2))(C(6)F(5))]. [Pd(tmeda)(C(6)F(5))(OH)] catalyses the cyclotrimerization of malononitrile. The crystal structures of [Pd(bipy)(C(6)F(5))(CH(2)COMe)].1/2Me(2)CO, [Pd(tmeda)(C(6)F(5))[CH(CO(2)Et)(2)]], [Pd(tmeda)(C(6)F(5))[CH(CN)(2)]] and [Pd(tmeda)(C(6)F(5))(CH(2)NO(2))].1/2CH(2)Cl(2) have been established by X-ray diffraction.

Rhodium, palladium and platinum complexes of tris(pyridylalkyl)amine and tris(benzimidazolylmethyl)amine N4-tripodal ligands.

To investigate the influence of a potentially N4-tripodal amine ligand on the structure and internal exchange processes of its complexes with late transition metals, five rhodium, six palladium and two platinum complexes have been prepared from seven alkyl-bridged N-heterocyclic amine tripodal ligands: tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, (2-(2-pyridylethyl))bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, bis(2-(2-pyridylethyl))-2-pyridylmethylamine, bis(2-(2-pyridylethyl))amine, ((6-(hydroxymethyl)-2-pyridyl)methyl)bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine (tbima) and tris(3-ethyl-2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies were completed for ten complexes: the d6-rhodium(III) complexes are octahedral with kappa 4 N-bound ligands, whereas the d8-palladium(II) and d8-platinum(II) complexes are square planar, kappa 3 N-bound by the tripodal ligand with a dangling N-donor leg, except for the unusual [Pd2(tbima)2Cl2]Cl2 dimer in which each palladium(II) ion is square planar and bound by two benzimidazole legs from one tbima ligand, one leg from the other tbima ligand and a chloride ancillary ligand. Cation bilayers are a common structural motif in the crystal structures. Variable-temperature 1H NMR studies reveal exchange occurs between the coordinated and dangling N-donor legs in the palladium and platinum complexes. Exchange free energy (Delta G++ c) values have been calculated and some general rules governing the favoured complex structures and exchange pathways elucidated. The palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of a ligand with an pyridylethyl leg are unstable with respect to elimination of vinylpyridine.

Regioselectivity in aqueous palladium catalysed hydroxycarbonylation of styrene: a catalytic and mechanistic study.

Regioselectivity control was studied in palladium catalysed hydroxycarbonylation of styrene in neat water with water-soluble phosphines, mostly trisulfonated triphenylphosphine, TPPTS, but also N-bis(N',N'-diethyl-2-aminoethyl)-4-aminomethylphenyl-diphenylphosphine, N3P. The factor giving the highest changes in regioselectivity in the TPPTS system, under similar reaction conditions, is the temperature. In the N3P case, only a minor variation in the n/i ratio as a function of temperature is observed. Insitu normal- and high-pressure NMR experiments were performed to obtain further information about the catalytic cycle and the reaction intermediates. Two palladium hydride intermediates, a palladium eta3-benzylic complex and both the branched and linear palladium acyl complexes were identified in the HP NMR experiments. The hydroxycarbonylation in water using styrene as a substrate operates using a hydride mechanism for pathways leading to both linear and branched product. Insertion of styrene in the palladium-hydride bond gives an eta3-benzyl compound. A high CO pressure gives a kinetic preference for the iso-acyl in the next step. In the TPPTS system, at moderate temperatures, the hydrolysis of the iso-acyl is faster than its conversion to the thermodynamically more stable n-acyl. A low n/i therefore requires high pressures and reasonably low temperatures. The N3P ligand always favours the linear product since isomerisation of the iso-acyl to the n-acyl in this system is fast under all conditions investigated.

Insertion of CO2 into a palladium allyl bond and a Pd(II) catalysed carboxylation of allyl stannanes.

The complex 2,6-bis[(di-t-butylphosphino)methyl]phenyl allyl palladium (PCP(tBu)Pd-allyl, 3) reacts with CO(2) in a very fast insertion reaction to give the corresponding butenoate complex. The reaction is thought to occur via a cyclic six-membered transition state (7), where the gamma-carbon of the allyl group is linked up with the CO(2)-carbon. A group of related PCP complexes were investigated as catalysts for the carboxylation of tributyl(allyl)stannane. A catalytic cycle is proposed for this reaction where the rate determining step is the transmetallation between tin and palladium. The carboxylation reaction is faster using less sterically crowded catalysts whereas the electron richness of the palladium complexes seems less important for reactivity. Thus, there was no apparent difference in reactivity between 2,6-bis[(di-phenylphosphino)methyl]phenyl palladium triflouroacetate (13) and resorcinolbis(diphenyl)phosphinite palladium triflouroacetate (10). Both of these complexes give high turnovers for the carboxylation of tributyl(allyl)stannane (80% in 16 h using a ca. 5% catalyst loading and 4 atm CO(2) pressure). On the other hand complex 3 was inactive in the catalytic carboxylation reaction.

Selective extraction of palladium(II) with theophylline derivatives.

Theophylline derivatives with some kinds of alkyl chains were synthesized and used in extraction experiments involving metal ions. Theophylline derivatives have exhibited a high selectivity for palladium over other precious metals and base metals. The extraction of palladium from acidic chloride media has been investigated using theophylline derivatives (= RN) as extractants. Palladium(II) was found to be extracted with 7-octyltheophylline according to the following reaction: PdCl2 + 2RN <==> PdCl2(RN)2. The extraction equilibrium constant was determined to be K = 2.67 x 10(8) ( moldm(-3))(-2). In addition, the stripping of palladium was performed to an extent of 100% by a single batchwise treatment with a 1.0 mol dm(-3) ammonia solution. The stoichiometric relation in the extraction of palladium was supported by an analysis using mass spectrometry.

Liquid-liquid extraction of palladium(II) from hydrobromic acid media by hexadecylpyridinium bromide.

A simple and rapid liquid-liquid extraction of palladium has been studied involving ion-pairing of bromocomplexes of palladium(II) with hexadecylpyridinium bromide (HDPB) dissolved in chloroform. The stoichiometry and distribution of (HDP)2PdBr4 between the aqueous and organic phase was investigated by spectrophotometric mole ratio method. The extraction efficiency of palladium(II) by HDPB was studied as a function of several variables: acid, salt, surfactant concentration and equilibrium time. The results showed that PdBr4(2-) extraction could be explained by assuming the formation of (HDP)2PdBr4 complexes in the aqueous solution and transfer to organic phase. The extraction was fast and the shaking time was only a few min. The average recovery of palladium(II) from an aqueous solution containing 10 microg/ml of analyte was 99% with an RSD% of 0.95. The percentage recovery of 0.2 microg/ml palladium(II) was 96%.

Bromoallenes as allyl dication equivalents in the presence or absence of palladium(0): direct construction of bicyclic sulfamides containing five- to eight-membered rings by tandem cyclization of bromoallenes.

A highly regioselective synthesis of bicyclic sulfamides is described. Based on our recent discovery that bromoallenes can act as allyl dication equivalents in the presence of a palladium catalyst and alcohol, we investigated tandem cyclization of bromoallenes bearing a sulfamide group. It is found that some bromoallenes act as allyl dication equivalents even in the absence of a palladium(0) catalyst to afford cyclosulfamides containing five- or six-membered rings. While the palladium-free cyclization is dependent on the substrate structure affording the bicyclic sulfamides through the first cyclization onto the proximal or central carbon atom of the bromoallenes, the palladium-catalyzed reaction strongly promotes the first cyclization onto the central allenic carbon atom to afford bicyclic sulfamides containing a seven- or eight-membered ring. Formation of two types of bicyclic sulfamides from single bromoallenes by simply changing the reaction conditions is also described.

Effect of palladium on sulfide tarnishing of noble metal alloys.

Electron spectroscopic studies of Au-Ag-Cu alloys of the type used for dental castings show that small additions (less than or equal to 3 wt%) of palladium reduce essentially the thickness of the sulfide layer formed on surfaces of samples treated in aqueous Na2S solutions. Relative to silver, palladium does not enrich in the sulfide, but statistically significant enrichment is found immediately below the sulfide layer. This enrichment probably takes place during the exposure of the substrate surface to atmosphere before the sulfiding treatment. The mechanism of the impeding effect of palladium on sulfiding is assumed to be a decrease in diffusion from the bulk alloy to the surface due to the enriched layer. The effect cannot be explained by changes in the electronic structure of the alloy due to palladium alloying.

Development of catalytic asymmetric reactions via chiral palladium enolates.

This article describes the generation of chiral palladium enolates and their application to several kinds of catalytic asymmetric reactions. Two methods to generate chiral enolates were developed using novel cationic palladium complexes 1 and 2. In these processes, water or a hydroxo ligand on palladium metal plays an important role as a nucleophile to promote the transmetallation or as a Brønsted base to abstract an acidic alpha-proton of the carbonyl group. These enolates showed sufficient reactivity with various electrophiles. Using a chiral Pd enolate as a key intermediate, highly enantioselective reactions such as catalytic aldol reactions, Mannich-type reactions, Michael reactions, and fluorination reactions were developed. The unique structures of the palladium enolate complexes were elucidated and reaction mechanisms are proposed.

Interactions between tetrahydrofolate and palladium(II) complexes.

Interactions between folate derivatives and palladium(II) complexes are monitored in 1 : 1 molar ratio mixtures by circular dichroic spectra. The results are consistent with the following conclusions, i.e., tetrahydrofolate forms a chelate complex with palladium(II) through nitrogens 5 and 10 which is characterized by a unique circular dichroic spectrum. Mixtures of pallodium (II) complexes and dihydrofolate on methylenetetrahydrofolate could not be expected to, nor do they, give rise to similar circualr dichroic spectra for the following reasons: (1) The N5, N10 chelation site of tetrahydrofolate is blocked in methylenetetrahydrofolate, so coordination of a palladium(II) species must occur at some secondary site. (2) The N5, N10 chelation site is available but carbon six of the pteridine ring system is no longer asymmetric in dihydrofolate. Mixtures of dihdrofolate and palladium(II) complexes have no measurable circular dichroic spectra under the experimental conditions used.
