4-Bromotrifluoromethyl benzene efficiently undergoes oxidative addition to palladium(0) precursors to give phosphine stabilized bromo(4- trifluoromethylphenyl)palladium(II) complexes in high yields. Exchange of the bromo and the phosphine ligands allows further derivatization of these compounds. The solid state structures of two palladium(II) complexes of the type (L-L)Pd(Br)(C6H4CF3), with L-L either performing cis or trans coordination could be elucidated.

Benzonitriles are easily accessible from the corresponding aryl bromides catalyzed by a palladium-complex using trimethylsilylcyanide (TMSCN) as cyanating agent under mild conditions. The key of success for the cyanation protocol is the slow dosage of the TMSCN to the reaction mixture. This new method is applicable on both activated and deactivated aryl and heteroaryl bromides giving the corresponding benzonitriles in good to excellent yield.

Palladium thiolato complexes [(L)Pd(R)(SR')], within which L is a chelating ligand such as DPPE, DPPP, DPPBz, DPPF, or TRANSPHOS, R is a methyl, alkenyl, aryl, or alkynyl ligand, and R' is an aryl or alkyl group, were synthesized by substitution or proton-transfer reactions. All of these thiolato complexes were found to undergo carbon-sulfur bond-forming inductive elimination in high yields to form dialkyl sulfides, diaryl sulfides, alkyl aryl sulfides, alkyl alkenyl sulfides, and alkyl alkynyl sulfides. Reductive eliminations forming alkenyl alkyl sulfides and aryl alkyl sulfides were the fastest. Eliminations of alkynyl alkyl sulfides were slower, and elimination of dialkyl sulfide was the slowest. Thus the relative rates for sulfide elimination as a function of the hybridization of the palladium-bound carbon follow the trend sp2 > sp >> sp3. Rates of reductive elimination were faster for cis-chelating phosphine ligands with larger bite angles. Kinetic studies, along with results from radical trapping reactions, analysis of solvent effects; and analysis of complexes with chelating phosphines of varying rigidity, were conducted with [Pd(L)(S-tert-butyl)(Ar)] and [Pd(L)(S- tert-butyl)(Me)]. Carbon-sulfur bond-forming reductive eliminations involving both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbyl groups proceed by an intramolecular, concerted mechanism. Systematic changes in the electronic properties of the thiolate and aryl groups showed that reductive elimination is the fastest for electron deficient aryl groups and electron rich arenethiolates, suggesting that the reaction follows a mechanism in which the thiolate acts as a nucleophile and the aryl group an electrophile. Studies with thiolate ligands and hydrocarbyl ligands of varying steric demands favor a migration mechanism involving coordination of the hydrocarbyl ligand in the transition state.
