Palladium(II) complexes of (pyridyl)imine ligands as catalysts for the methoxycarbonylation of olefins

Reactions of 2-methoxy-N-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)ethanamine (L1), 2-((pyridin-2-yl)methyleneamino)ethanol (L2) and 3-methoxy-N-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)propan-1-amine (L3) ligands with either [PdCl2(COD)] or [PdCl(Me)(COD)] produced the corresponding monometallic complexes [PdCl2(L1)] (1), [PdClMe(L1)] (2), [PdCl2(L2)] (3) and [PdCl2(L3)] (4). The solid state structure of complex 1 confirmed the bidentate coordination mode of L1, giving a distorted square planar geometry. All the complexes (1–4) formed active catalysts for the methoxycarbonylation of higher olefins to give linear and branched esters. The catalytic behavior of complexes 1–4 were influenced by both the complex structure and olefin chain length.

Selective Mono- and Dicarbonylation of Terminal Olefins Catalyzed by Pd-C in the Presence of Cu(II) or Cu(I) Chloride under Mild Conditions

Pd-C can catalyze the carbonylation of terminal olefins with normal pressure of carbon monoxide at room temperature.The corresponding mono- and diesters (succinates) were selectively formed in excellent yields using Cu(II) and Cu(I) chloride, respectively, in alcohol.
