With the aim at synthesizing novel allyl complexes that can potentially act as catalysts in the Tsuji–Trost catalyzed reaction, we have synthesized and characterized some allyl and 2-Meallyl palladium derivatives with one hemilabile bidentate or two strong mono-coordinating spectator ligands. The hemilabile ligands are constituted by one nitrogen heterocyclic carbene (NHC) fragment acting as the pivot bearing a labile wing with a pyridine nitrogen or sulfur atom as the second stabilizing atom. One of two monodentate ligands is in all cases PPh3 whereas the other is a mono- or partially coordinated hemilabile carbene. The complexes were characterized by standard spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis and in two cases by SC-XRD technique. The reactivity of two selected complexes toward the Tsuji–Trost reaction was tested by stoichiometric allyl amination carried out with piperidine and the results of such a mechanistic investigation integrated by a computational study are also reported in this paper.

Abstract

With the aim at synthesizing novel allyl complexes that can potentially act as catalysts in the Tsuji–Trost catalyzed reaction, we have synthesized and characterized some allyl and 2-Meallyl palladium derivatives with one hemilabile bidentate or two strong mono-coordinating spectator ligands. The hemilabile ligands are constituted by one nitrogen heterocyclic carbene (NHC) fragment acting as the pivot bearing a labile wing with a pyridine nitrogen or sulfur atom as the second stabilizing atom. One of two monodentate ligands is in all cases PPh3 whereas the other is a mono- or partially coordinated hemilabile carbene. The complexes were characterized by standard spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis and in two cases by SC-XRD technique. The reactivity of two selected complexes toward the Tsuji–Trost reaction was tested by stoichiometric allyl amination carried out with piperidine and the results of such a mechanistic investigation integrated by a computational study are also reported in this paper.
