The oxidative addition of RI to Pd(O) and further cis-to-trans isomerization, which are involved in the Stille reaction and other Pd-catalyzed syntheses, have been studied. C6Cl2F3I (1, C6Cl2F3 = 3,5-dichlorotrifluorophenyl) adds to Pd(PPh3)4 in THF at room temperature giving cis-[Pd(C6Cl2F3)I(PPh3)2] (2), which could be isolated before isomerization to the more stable trans-[Pd(C6Cl2F3)I(PPh3) 2] (3). A 19F NMR kinetic study of the isomerization of 2 in THF at 322.6 K reveals a first-order law riso = Kiso[2], with kiso = f + g[2]0 + (h + i[2]0)/([PPh3] + j) (f = (1.66 ± 0.03) × 10-4 s-1, g = (2.5 ± 0.2) × 10-3 mol-1 L s-1, h = (1.3 ± 0.7) × 10-8 mol L-1 s-1, i = (4 ± 2) × 10-7 s-1, and 7 = (1.4 ± 0.7) × 10-5 mol L-1). A four-pathway mechanism accounts for these results: Two are assigned to the associative replacements Of PPh3 coordinated to 2 by an iodide ligand of I-[Pd] (I-[Pd] = 2 or 3), both THF-assisted (coefficient h) or direct (coefficient i), leading to a monoiodidebridged intermediate cis-{Pd(C6Cl2F3)I(PPh 3)(μ-I)-[Pd]}. The later rearranges via terminal-for-bridging iodide exchange to trans-{Pd(C6Cl2F3)I(PPh 3)(μ-I)]-[Pd]}, which is finally cleaved by PPh3 yielding complex 3. The other two concurrent pathways are assigned to the isomerization via two consecutive Berry pseudorotations in the pentacoordinated species derived from 2 by coordination of THF (coefficient f) or I-[Pd] (coefficient g). The apparent activation entropy associated with kiso is negative (ΔS? = -21 ± 3 J K-1 mol-1), in agreement with the proposed bimolecular mechanisms.

The kinetics of the Stille reaction between C6Cl 2F3I and PhCCSnBu3 have been studied for the whole catalytic system and for transmetalations as separate steps. The use of (trifluorodichlorophenyl)palladium derivatives slows down the reactions and allows for the observation of the intermediates cis-and trans-[Pd(C 6Cl2F3)I(PPh3)2]. The first is formed in the oxidative addition step and isomerizes to the second. Both were studied as catalysts for the whole cycle. The kinetic study compares the relevance of the transmetalation step on each isomer. The competing transmetalations produce both cis-and trans-[Pd(C6Cl 2F3)(PhCC)(PPh3)2]. The former undergoes very fast C-C coupling, while the second accumulates in solution due to extremely slow isomerization. Thus, the system is a case study of the effect of competing pathways in the Stille reaction and its consequences on the performance of the catalytic process.

The mechanism of the [PdL4]-catalyzed couplings between R-OTf (R = pentahalophenyl; L = PPh3, AsPh3) and Sn(CH = CH2)Bu3 has been studied. The addition of LiCl favors the coupling for L = AsPh3 in THF but retards it for L = PPh3. Separate experiments show that for L = AsPh3, LiCl accelerates the otherwise very slow and rate-determining oxidative addition of the aryl triflate to [PdL4], leading to trans-[PdRClL2]. Therefore, the overall process is accelerated. For L = PPh3, the rate-determining step is the transmetalation. Complex trans-[PdRXL2], with X = Cl, is formed in the presence of LiCl, whereas an equilibrium mixture mainly involving species with X = TfO, L, or S (S = solvent) is established in the absence of LiCl. Since the transmetalation is slower for X = Cl than for the other complexes, the overall process is retarded by addition of LiCl. The transmetalation in complexes trans-[PdRXL2], with X = Cl, follows the S(E)2(cyclic) mechanism proposed in Part 1 (Casado, A. L.; Espinet, P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 8978-8985), giving the coupling product R-CH=CH2'directly. For X = TfO or L, rather stable intermediates trans-[PdR(CH=CH2)L2] are detected, supporting an S(E)2(open) mechanism. The key intermediates undergoing transmetalation in the conditions and solvents most commonly used in the literature have been identified. The operation of S(E)2(cyclic) and S(E)2(open) pathways emphasizes common aspects of the Stille reaction with the Hiyama reaction where, using R2SiF3 that is chiral at the α-carbon of R2, retention or inversion at the transmetalated chiral carbon can be induced. This helps us to understand the contradictory stereochemical outcomes in the literature for Stille couplings using R2SnR3 derivatives that are chiral at the α-carbon of R2 and suggests that stereocontrol of the Stille reaction might be achieved.
