We have performed a series of stoichiometric studies in order to identify viable steps for a hypothetical catalytic cycle for the palladium-mediated carbonylative coupling of an aryl bromide with TMSCF3. Our work revealed that benzoyl Pd(II) complexes bearing Xantphos or tBu3P as the phosphine ligands, which are generated from the corresponding PdII(Ph)Br complexes exposed to stoichiometric 13CO from 13COgen, were unable to undergo transmetalation and reductive elimination to trifluoroacetophenone. Instead, in the presence of base and additional CO, these organometallic complexes readily underwent reductive elimination to the acid fluoride. Attempts to determine whether the acid fluoride could represent an intermediate for acetophenone production were unrewarding. Only in the presence of a boronic ester did we observe some formation of the desired product, although the efficiency of transformation was still low. Finally, we investigated the reactivity of four phosphine-ligated PdII(Ph)CF3 complexes (Xantphos, DtBPF, tBu3P, and triphenylphosphine) with carbon monoxide. With the exception of the tBu3P-ligated complex, all other metal complexes led to the facile formation of trifluoroacetophenone. We also determined in the case of triphenylphosphine that CO insertion occurred into the Pd-Ar bond, as trapping of this complex with n-hexylamine led to the formation of n-hexylbenzamide.

Although nanoparticles are widely used as catalysts, little is known about their potential ability to trigger privileged transformations as compared to homogeneous molecular or bulk heterogeneous catalysts. We herein demonstrate (and rationalize) that nanoparticles display orthogonal reactivity to molecular catalysts in the cross-coupling of aryl halides with aryl germanes. While the aryl germanes are unreactive in LnPd0/LnPdII catalysis and allow selective functionalization of established coupling partners in their presence, they display superior reactivity under Pd nanoparticle conditions, outcompeting established coupling partners (such as ArBPin and ArBMIDA) and allowing air-tolerant, base-free, and orthogonal access to valuable and challenging biaryl motifs. As opposed to the notoriously unstable polyfluoroaryl- and 2-pyridylboronic acids, the corresponding germanes are highly stable and readily coupled. Our mechanistic and computational studies provide unambiguous support of nanoparticle catalysis and suggest that owing to the electron richness of aryl germanes, they preferentially react by electrophilic aromatic substitution, and in turn are preferentially activated by the more electrophilic nanoparticles.

The transmetalation is a key elementary step in cross-coupling reactions. Yet, the precise nature of its mechanism and transition state geometry are frequently elusive. This report discloses our study of the transmetalation of [PdII]-F complexes with the silane- and stannane-based trifluoromethylation agents, R3SiCF3 and R3SnCF3. A divergent reactivity was uncovered, with the stannane showing selective R-group transfer, and the silane selective CF3-group transfer. Using a combined experimental and computational approach, we uncovered a hitherto unrecognized transmetalation mechanism with the widely employed R3SiCF3 reagent, explaining its unique activity in metal-catalyzed trifluoromethylations. While the stannane reacts via a cyclic, 4-membered transition state, the silane undergoes a fundamentally different pathway and releases a difluorocarbene in the transmetalation event. Molecular dynamics studies clearly reinforced the liberation of a free CF2 carbene, which reacts with [PdII]-F to ultimately generate [PdII]-CF3.

The synthesis and characterization of previously unknown palladium(II) and platinum(II) difluoro phosphine complexes are described. These complexes can be obtained either via a halide metathesis reaction with AgF in dichloromethane or by reacting the corresponding dimethyl complexes with XeF2. While the Pt(II) complexes can be prepared with both aryl- and alkyl-phosphine ligands, the stability of the Pd(II) complexes is limited to those having cis-oriented trialkyl phosphine ligands.
