%X Gas-phase carbon–carbon bond
forming reactions, catalyzed
by group 10 metal acetate cations [(phen)M(O2CCH3)]+ (where M = Ni, Pd or Pt) formed via electrospray ionization
of metal acetate complexes [(phen)M(O2CCH3)2], were examined using an ion trap mass spectrometer and density
functional theory (DFT) calculations. In step 1 of the catalytic cycle,
collision induced dissociation (CID) of [(phen)M(O2CCH3)]+ yields the organometallic complex, [(phen)M(CH3)]+, via decarboxylation. [(phen)M(CH3)]+ reacts with allyl acetate via three competing reactions,
with reactivity orders (% reaction efficiencies) established via kinetic
modeling. In step 2a, allylic alkylation occurs to give 1-butene and
reform metal acetate, [(phen)M(O2CCH3)]+, with Ni (36%) > Pd (28%) > Pt (2%). Adduct formation,
[(phen)M(C6H11O2)]+, occurs
with Pt
(24%) > Pd (21%) > Ni(11%). The major losses upon CID on the
adduct,
[(phen)M(C6H11O2)]+, are
1-butene for M = Ni and Pd and methane for Pt. Loss of methane only
occurs for Pt (10%) to give [(phen)Pt(C5H7O2)]+. The sequences of steps 1 and 2a close a catalytic
cycle for decarboxylative carbon–carbon bond coupling. DFT
calculations suggest that carbon–carbon bond formation occurs
via alkene insertion as the initial step for all three metals, without
involving higher oxidation states for the metal centers.
