Abstract
The palladium(II) derivatives of the type 1 [Pd(LL′)(C 4R 1R 2R 3R 4)] (LL′ = HNSPh:2-(phenylthiomethyl)-pyridine ( A), BiPy: 2,2′-bipyridyl ( B), DPPE: bis-diphenylphosphinoethane ( C), NEOC: neocuproine (2,2′-dimethyl- o-phenanthroline) (D), R 1 = R 4 = COOMe, R 2, R 3 = C 10H 6 ( a), R 1 = R 3 = C 6H 5, R 2 = R 4 = COOMe ( b), R 1 = R 2 = R 3 = R 4 = COOMe ( c)) react with the electron poor olefin tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) to yield under mild conditions the type 2 cycles C 6(CN) 4R 1R 2R 3R 4 and the corresponding palladium(0) olefin derivative [Pd(η 2]-TCNE)(LL′)]. The olefin insertion reactions are usually fast, but in the case of the reaction of complex 1Da with TCNE accumulation of an intermediate is observed. The low temperature NOESY spectrum allows the determination of the intermediate structure which can be described as a hepta-membered metallacycle species.
