A Next-Generation Air-Stable Palladium(I) Dimer Enables Olefin Migration and Selective C?C Coupling in Air

We report a new air-stable PdI dimer, [Pd(μ-I)(PCy2tBu)]2, which triggers E-selective olefin migration to enamides and styrene derivatives in the presence of multiple functional groups and with complete tolerance of air. The same dimer also triggers extremely rapid C?C coupling (alkylation and arylation) at room temperature in a modular and triply selective fashion of aromatic C?Br, C?OTf/OFs, and C?Cl bonds in poly(pseudo)halogenated arenes, displaying superior activity over previous PdI dimer generations for substrates that bear substituents ortho to C?OTf.

E-Olefins through intramolecular radical relocation

Full control over the selectivity of carbon-carbon double-bond migrations would enable access to stereochemically defined olefins that are central to the pharmaceutical, food, fragrance, materials, and petrochemical arenas. The vast majority of double-bond migrations investigated over the past 60 years capitalize on precious-metal hydrides that are frequently associated with reversible equilibria, hydrogen scrambling, incomplete E/Z stereoselection, and/or high cost. Here, we report a fundamentally different, radical-based approach.We showcase a nonprecious, reductant-free, and atom-economical nickel (Ni)(I)-catalyzed intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen atom relocation to yield E-olefins within 3 hours at room temperature. Remote installations of E-olefins over extended distances are also demonstrated.

Nickel-catalyzed methylation of aryl halides/tosylates with methyl tosylate

This work describes the cross-electrophile methylation of aryl bromides and aryl tosylates with methyl tosylate. The mild reaction conditions allow effective methylation of a wide set of heteroaryl electrophiles and dimethylation of dibromoarenes.

In situ generated bulky palladium hydride complexes as catalysts for the efficient isomerization of olefins. Selective transformation of terminal alkenes to 2-alkenes

Application of an in situ generated bulky palladium(II) hydride catalyst obtained from a 1:1:1 mixture of Pd(dba)2, P(tBu)3, and isobutyryl chloride provides an efficient protocol for the isomerization and migration of a variety of olefins. In addition to the isomerization of (Z)- to (E)-olefins, the conjugative migration of allylbenzenes, allyl ethers, and amines was effectively achieved in near-quantitative yields and with excellent functional group tolerance. Catalyst loadings in the range of 0.5-1.0 mol % were typically applied, but even loadings as low as 0.25 mol % could be achieved when the reactions were performed under neat conditions. More interestingly, the investigated catalyst proved to be selective for converting terminal alkenes to 2-alkenes. This one-carbon migration process for monosubstituted olefins provides an alternative catalyst, which bridges the gap between the allylation and propenylation/vinylation protocols. Several substrates, including homoallylic alcohols and amines, were selectively transformed into their corresponding 2-alkenes, and examples using enantiomerically enriched substrates provided products without epimerization at the allylic stereogenic carbon centers. Finally, some mechanistic investigations were undertaken to understand the nature of the active in situ generated Pd-H catalyst. These studies revealed that the catalytic system is highly dependent on the large steric demand of the P(tBu)3 ligand. The use of an alternative ligand, cataCXium PinCy, also proved effective for generating an active catalyst, and it was demonstrated in some cases to display better selectivity for the one-carbon shifts of terminal olefins. A possible intermediate involved in the preparation of the active catalyst was characterized by its single-crystal X-ray structure, which revealed a monomeric tricoordinated palladium(II) acyl complex, bearing a chloride ligand.
