Sterically hindered (pyridyl)benzamidine palladium(II) complexes: Syntheses, structural studies, and applications as catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of olefins

Reactions of ligands (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L1), (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L2), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L3), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L4), and (E)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-N′-phenylbenzimidamide (L5) with [Pd(NCMe)2Cl2] furnished the corresponding palladium(II) precatalysts (Pd1–Pd5), in good yields. Molecular structures of Pd2 and Pd3 revealed that the ligands coordinate in a N^N bidentate mode to afford square planar compounds. Activation of the palladium(II) complexes with para-tolyl sulfonic acid (PTSA) afforded active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of a number of alkene. The resultant catalytic activities were controlled by the both the complex structure and alkene substrate. While aliphatic substrates favored the formation of linear esters (>70%), styrene substrate resulted in the formation of predominantly branched esters of up to 91%.

Highly regioselective anti-markovnikov palladium-borate-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation reactions: Unprecedented results for aryl olefins

(Chemical Equation Presented) A general, highly efficient and regioselective methoxycarbonylation, by means of a palladium-salicylicborate- catalyzed protocol, of terminal alkyl and aryl olefins is described. The substrates include aliphatic alkenes, allylbenzenes, and styrene derivatives. The yields are very good (60-92%) and the regioselectivity, in favor of the linear ester, is up to quantitative - unprecedented in the case of styrenes.

Selective Mono- and Bis(alkoxycarbonylation)s of Olefins Catalyzed by Palladium in the Presence of Cu(I) or Cu(II) Chloride under Remarkably Mild Conditions. Application to the Synthesis of γ-Butyrolactone Derivatives

Palladium-catalyzed mono- and bis(alkoxycarbonylation)s of the olefins were controlled by the use of copper(II) and copper(I) chloride, respectively, in alcohol under normal pressure of carbon monoxide and oxygen at room temperature without any other additives. 3-Buten-1-ols gave the corresponding γ-butyrolactones and 2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-acetic acid esters, respectively, in high yields.
