The reaction of norbornylene with [Pd(PPh3)2(CH3CN)(COR)]BF4 (2) produced [Pd(PPh3)2-(C7H10COR)](BF 4) (3). The crystal structure of 3a (R = Me) revealed a square-planar coordination around the palladium atom. The two triphenylphosphine ligands occupied cis positions, and the 2-acetylnorborn-1-yl residue acted as a chelating ligand by coordinating through the norbornyl carbon and the carbonyl oxygen. The two palladium-phosphorus distances, 2.238 (2) and 2.434 (2) ?, were dramatically different. Crystallographic data: space group P21/n; a = 11.430 (10), b = 23.042 (3), c = 16.338 (3) ?; β = 99.90 (2)°; V = 4238.7 ?3; Z = 4; R = 0.0673, Rw = 0.0894. The reaction mechanism, determined by studying the analogous reaction of 2 with norbomadiene, involved insertion from a four-coordinate intermediate formed by olefin displacement of the acetonitrile ligand. The reaction of Pd(PPh3)2(Cl)(COR) (1) with norbomylene produced Pd(PPh3)(Cl)(C7H10COR) (6). For this reaction a mechanism involving insertion from a four-coordinate intermediate formed by olefin displacement of a triphenylphosphine ligand was consistent with the experimental results. The reaction of 1 with olefin was significantly accelerated in the presence of a "phosphine sponge" (e.g., Pd(PhCN)2Cl2, CH3I, or S).
