Autocatalytic oxidative addition of PhBr to Pd(PtBu 3)2 via Pd(PtBu3)2(H)(Br)

We report that oxidative addition of bromobenzene to Pd(PtBu3)2 occurs by an unusual autocatalytic mechanism. Studies on the effect of various additives showed that the degree of rate acceleration followed the trend: (PtBu3)Pd(Ph)(Br) ≈ (HPtBu3)Br tBu3)Pd(μ-Br)]2 tBu3)2Pd(H)(Br). Studies on the reactions of Pd(PtBu3)2 in the presence of (PtBu3)2Pd(H)(Br) showed that the concentration of (PtBu3)2Pd(H)(Br) decreased only after the Pd(0) complex had been consumed. These data indicated that the catalyst in this process is (PtBu3)2Pd(H)(Br). Thermal decomposition of the three-coordinate oxidative addition product (PtBu3)Pd(Ar)(Br) during the reaction of Pd(PtBu3)2 and bromoarenes ultimately leads to formation of (PtBu3)2Pd(H)(Br). Parallel reactions of bromobenzene with (PtBu3)2Pd(H)(Br) and Pd(PtBu3)2 showed that the bromoarenes reacted considerably faster with the Pd(II) species than with the Pd(0) species. We therefore propose a catalytic cycle for oxidative addition in which PBut3·HBr reacts with the Pd(0) species to form (PtBu3)2Pd(H)(Br), and (PtBu3)2Pd(H)(Br) reacts with the bromoarene, possibly though the anionic species [HPtBu3+][(PtBu3)Pd(Br)-], to form [Pd(PtBu3)(Ar)(Br)].

Synthesis and photophysics of fully π-conjugated heterobis- functionalized polymeric molecular wires via suzuki chain-growth polymerization

We present a fast and efficient in situ synthetic approach to obtain fully π-conjugated polymers with degrees of polymerization up to 23 and near quantitative (>95%) heterobis-functionalization. The synthesis relies on the key advantages of controlled Suzuki chain-growth polymerization: control over molecular weight, narrow polydispersity, and ability to define polymer end groups. The first end group is introduced through the initiator metal complex tBu3PPd(X)Br, while the second end group is added by quenching of the chain-growth polymerization with the desired boronic esters. In all cases, polymers obtained at 50% conversion showed excellent end group fidelity and high purity following a simple workup procedure, as determined by MALDI-TOF, GPC, and 1H and 2D NMR. End group functionalization altered the optoelectronic properties of the bridge polymer. Building on a common fluorene backbone, and guided by DFT calculations, we introduced donor and acceptor end groups to create polymeric molecular wires exhibiting charge transfer and energy transfer as characterized by fluorescence, absorption, and transient absorption spectroscopy as well as by fluorescence lifetime measurements.

Study of the controlled chain-growth polymerization of poly(3,6- phenanthrene)

This manuscript investigates the possibilities to obtain helical conjugated polymers following a controlled chain-growth polymerization mechanism with external initiation. Attempts to prepare poly(3,6-(9,10-di(octyloxy)) phenanthrene)s with the existing chain-growth mechanisms using existing Kumada or Negishi couplings were unsuccessful because of the difficulty to quantitatively prepare the Grignard metathesis reagent starting from the envisaged precursor, namely 3,6-dibromo-(9,10-di(octyloxy))phenanthrene. On the other hand, a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling polymerization using Pd(P tBu3) as the catalyst clearly allows the polymerization to proceed. The reaction conditions were optimized and an in-depth study with gel permeation chromatography and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-ToF) of the underlying mechanisms was performed. Nevertheless, a prolonged chain-growth mechanism was not achieved for the targeted polymers. Copyright

Stoichiometric Studies on the Carbonylative Trifluoromethylation of Aryl Pd(II) Complexes using TMSCF3 as the Trifluoromethyl Source

We have performed a series of stoichiometric studies in order to identify viable steps for a hypothetical catalytic cycle for the palladium-mediated carbonylative coupling of an aryl bromide with TMSCF3. Our work revealed that benzoyl Pd(II) complexes bearing Xantphos or tBu3P as the phosphine ligands, which are generated from the corresponding PdII(Ph)Br complexes exposed to stoichiometric 13CO from 13COgen, were unable to undergo transmetalation and reductive elimination to trifluoroacetophenone. Instead, in the presence of base and additional CO, these organometallic complexes readily underwent reductive elimination to the acid fluoride. Attempts to determine whether the acid fluoride could represent an intermediate for acetophenone production were unrewarding. Only in the presence of a boronic ester did we observe some formation of the desired product, although the efficiency of transformation was still low. Finally, we investigated the reactivity of four phosphine-ligated PdII(Ph)CF3 complexes (Xantphos, DtBPF, tBu3P, and triphenylphosphine) with carbon monoxide. With the exception of the tBu3P-ligated complex, all other metal complexes led to the facile formation of trifluoroacetophenone. We also determined in the case of triphenylphosphine that CO insertion occurred into the Pd-Ar bond, as trapping of this complex with n-hexylamine led to the formation of n-hexylbenzamide.

Synthesis, Structure, Theoretical Studies, and Ligand Exchange Reactions of Monomeric, T-Shaped Arylpalladium(II) Halide Complexes with an Additional, Weak Agostic Interaction

A series of monomeric arylpalladium(II) complexes LPd(Ph)X (L = 1-AdP tBu2, PtBu3, or Ph 5FcPtBu2 (Q-phos); X = Br, I, OTf) containing a single phosphine ligand have been prepared. Oxidative addition of aryl bromide or aryl iodide to bis-ligated palladium(0) complexes of bulky, trialkylphosphines or to Pd(dba)2 (dba = dibenzylidene acetone) in the presence of 1 equiv of phosphine produced the corresponding arylpalladium(II) complexes in good yields. In contrast, oxidative addition of phenyl chloride to the bis-ligated palladium(0) complexes did not produce arylpalladium(II) complexes. The oxidative addition of phenyl triflate to PdL2 (L = 1-AdPtBu2, PtBu 3, or Q-phos) also did not form arylpalladium(II) complexes. The reaction of silver triflate with (1-AdPtBu2)Pd(Ph)Br furnished the corresponding arylpalladium(II) triflate in good yield. The oxidative addition of phenyl bromide and iodide to Pd(Q-phos)2 was faster than oxidative addition to Pd(1-AdPtBu2)2 or Pd(PtBu3)2. Several of the arylpalladium complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction. All of the arylpalladium(II) complexes are T-shaped monomers. The phenyl ligand, which has the largest trans influence, is located trans to the open coordination site. The complexes appear to be stabilized by a weak agostic interaction of the metal with a ligand C-H bond positioned at the fourth-coordination site of the palladium center. The strength of the Pd...H bond, as assessed by tools of density functional theory, depended upon the donating properties of the ancillary ligands on palladium.
