Mechanism of direct molecular oxygen insertion in a palladium(II)-hydride bond.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanism of the direct insertion of molecular oxygen into a palladium hydride bond has been elucidated using quantum mechanics (B3LYP/LACVP** with the PBF continuum solvent model). The key step is found to be the abstraction of the hydrogen atom resulting in the formation of a PdI/HO2 (triplet) radical pair, which then proceeds to form a singlet palladium hydroperoxo species. Potential palladium(0) pathways were explored and were found to be inaccessible. The results are in agreement with recent experimental results and are consistent with our previously predicted mechanism for an analogue system.

The mechanism for direct insertion of O(2) in a toluene-solvated palladium-hydride bond (avoiding palladium zero) has been elucidated using quantum mechanics (B3LYP/LACVP** with the PBF polarizable continuum solvent model) for Pd(II)(-)-sparteine)(Cl)(H) and the model compound Pd(II)(bipyridine)(Cl)(H). We find that the process involves (1) the abstraction of the hydrogen atom by triplet oxygen...

In developing environmentally benign chemistries, it is most important to use dioxygen directly in lieu of toxic and/or corrosive stoichiometric oxidants. Unfortunately, for many processes such direct oxidations have not yet become practical. To help develop such processes, we elucidate here the mechanism for the reaction of molecular oxygen with toluene-solvated palladium-hydride complex using...

We elucidate here the mechanism for the reaction of molecular oxygen with palladium-hydride complexes in toluene using quantum mechanics (B3LYP/LACVP** with the PBF polarizable continuum solvent model) for ((−)sparteine)Pd(H)OAc. Here we focus specifically on two classes of pathways: (1) those proceeding through Pd and (2) those involving direct insertion of oxygen into the Pd−H bond. In partic...

We use quantum mechanics to elucidate the mechanism for the reaction of molecular oxygen with palladium-hydride complexes, (pyridine)(2)-Pd(II)(H)OAc, in toluene, focusing specifically on the direct insertion pathway of dioxygen into the Pd-H bond and pathways proceeding through a Pd(0) intermediate for both cis and trans starting configurations as well as with the assistance of an extra HOAc m...
متن کاملMechanisms of the Mizoroki–Heck Reaction
The palladium-catalysed Mizoroki–Heck reaction is the most efficient route for the vinylation of aryl/vinyl halides or triflates. This reaction, in which a C C bond is formed, proceeds in the presence of a base (Scheme 1.1) [1, 2]. Nonconjugated alkenes are formed in reactions involving cyclic alkenes (Scheme 1.2) [1e, 2a,c,e,g] or in intramolecular reactions (Scheme 1.3) [2b,d–g] with creation...
