Reactions of ligands (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L1), (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L2), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L3), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L4), and (E)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-N′-phenylbenzimidamide (L5) with [Pd(NCMe)2Cl2] furnished the corresponding palladium(II) precatalysts (Pd1–Pd5), in good yields. Molecular structures of Pd2 and Pd3 revealed that the ligands coordinate in a N^N bidentate mode to afford square planar compounds. Activation of the palladium(II) complexes with para-tolyl sulfonic acid (PTSA) afforded active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of a number of alkene. The resultant catalytic activities were controlled by the both the complex structure and alkene substrate. While aliphatic substrates favored the formation of linear esters (>70%), styrene substrate resulted in the formation of predominantly branched esters of up to 91%.

The Schiff base compounds 2-phenyl-2-((3(triethoxysilyl)propyl)imino)ethanol (HL1) and 4-methyl-2-((3(triethoxysilyl)propyl)imino)methyl)phenol (HL2) were synthesized via condensation reactions of a suitable ketone or aldehyde and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxy silane (APTES). Whereas the reactions of HL1 and HL2 with [Pd(OAc)2] afforded the bis(chelated) palladium compounds [Pd(L1)2] (1) and [Pd(L2)2] (2), treatments of HL1 and HL2 with [Pd(NCMe)2Cl2] gave the mono(chelated) complexes [Pd(HL1)2Cl2] (3) and [Pd(HL2)2Cl2] (4) respectively. Structural characterization of the compounds was achieved using NMR and FT-IR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry and micro-analyses. Complexes 1–4 gave active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of higher olefins producing linear esters as the major products. The coordination environment around the palladium center of the complexes dictated the relative catalytic activity, where the bis(chelated) analogues 1 and 2 were more active than the mono(chelated) analogues 3 and 4. The nature of the acid promoter, phosphine groups, solvent system, olefin substrate and reactions conditions influenced the catalytic behaviour of the complexes.
The Pd-catalysed hydromethoxycarbonylation of aliphatic internal alkenes with minimal double bond isomerisation

The methoxycarbonylation of internal alkenes by a palladium(II)complex comprising PdCl2, bis(2-methoxyphenyl)phenylphosphine (2) and HCl has been investigated. The results presented herein demonstrate a non-isomerizing Pd-complex for the effective production of internal esters from the corresponding internal aliphatic alkenes. Selectivities of >70% were obtained for the desired internal esters with no signs of catalyst decomposition. The high selectivity for the internal esters is rationalized on the basis of the hemi-lability of the o-methoxy moiety which may assist in ligand dissociation. To the best of our knowledge this is one of the first reported hydromethoxycarbonylation routes to internal esters from their corresponding internal aliphatic alkenes.
