A 1:1 mixture of the π-allyl palladium complex (η3-C3H5)Pd(CI)PCy3 (1a) and NaB[3,5-C6H3-(CF3)2]4 in the presence of HSiEt3 catalyzed the cycloisomerization of diethyl diallylmalonate (2b) to form 4,4-dicarbomethoxy-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane (3b) in 98% yield with 98% isomeric purity. The procedure tolerated a range of functionality including esters, ketones, sulfones, protected alcohols, and substitution at the allylic and terminal olefinic carbon atoms. Cycloisomerization of 2b obeyed zero-order kinetics to > 3 half-lives with initial formation of 1,1-dicarboethoxy-4-methyl-3-methylenecyclopentane (4b), followed by secondary isomerization to 3b. Deuterium labeling studies revealed that the conversion of 2b to 4b was accompanied by significant H/D exchange, consistent with an addition/elimination pathway coupled with facile H/D exchange of the Pd-H(D) intermediates with free silane.

Two new classes of highly active yet air- and moisture-stable π-R-allylpalladium complexes containing bulky biaryl- and bipyrazolylphosphines with extremely broad ligand scope have been developed. Neutral π-allylpalladium complexes incorporated a range of biaryl/bipyrazolylphosphine ligands, while extremely bulky ligands were accommodated by a cationic scaffold. These complexes are easily activated under mild conditions and are efficient for a wide array of challenging C-C and C-X (X = heteroatom) cross-coupling reactions. Their high activity is correlated to their facile activation to a 12-electron-based L-Pd(0) catalyst under commonly employed conditions for cross-coupling reactions, noninhibitory byproduct release upon activation, and suppression of the off-cycle pathway to form dinuclear (μ-allyl)(μ-Cl)Pd2(L)2 species, supported by structural (single crystal X-ray) and kinetic studies. A broad scope of C-C and C-X coupling reactions with low catalyst loadings and short reaction times highlight the versatility and practicality of these catalysts in organic synthesis.
