The complexes [Pd(η2-dmfu)(P-N)] {dmfu = dimethyl fumarate; P-N = 2-(PPh2)C6H4-1-CH=NR, R = C 6H4OMe-4 (1a), CHMe2 (2a), C6H 3Me2-2,6 (3a), C6H3(CHMe 2)2-2,6 (4a)} undergo dynamic processes in solution which consist of a P-N ligand site exchange through initial rupture of the Pd-N bond at lower energy and an olefin dissociation-association at higher energy. According to equilibrium constant values for olefin replacement, the complex [Pd(η2-fn)(P-N)] (fn = fumaronitrile, 1b) has a greater thermodynamic stability than its dmfu analogue 1a. The kinetics of the oxidative addition of ArI (Ar = C6H4CF3-4) to 1a and 2a lead to the products [PdI(Ar)(P-N)] (1c, 2c) and obey the rate law, k obs = k1A k2A[ArI]. The k1A step involves oxidative addition to a reactive species [Pd(solvent)(P-N)] formed from dmfu dissociation. The k2A step is better interpreted in terms of oxidative addition to a species [Pd(η2-dmfu)(solvent) (κ1-P-N)] formed in a pre-equilibrium step from Pd-N bond breaking. The complexes 1c and 2c react with PhC≡CSnBu3 in the presence of an activated olefin (ol = dmfu, fn) to yield the palladium(0) derivatives [Pd(η2-ol)(P-N)] along with ISnBu3 and PhC≡CAr. The kinetics of the transmetallation step, which is rate-determining for the overall reaction, obey the rate law: kobs = k2T[PhC≡CSnBu3]. The k2T values are markedly enhanced in more polar solvents such as CH3CN and DMF. The solvent effect and the activation parameters suggest an associative S E2 mechanism with substantial charge separation in the transition state. The kinetic data of the above reactions in various solvents indicate that, for the cross-coupling of PhC≡CSnBu3 with ArI catalysed by 1a or 2a, the rate-determining step is represented by the oxidative addition and that CH3CN is the solvent in which the highest rates are observed.
