dibenzylideneacetone) with
(trans-RCHCHPPh3)+Br-
in
dichloromethane afforded
[Pd(trans-RCHCHPPh3)2Br]+
(R = CO2Et (4), CO2Me
(5), Ph
(6)). As shown by the results of the X-ray diffraction,
4 adopts a distorted pentagonal
geometry with two
EtO2CCHCH(PPh3)+
moieties and a bromide ligand. The C−C double
bond in the
EtO2CCHCH(PPh3)+
moieties are π-bonded to the palladium(0) center
and
are coplanar with the bromide ligand and the metal center. Both
(EtO2CCHCHPPh3)+
moieties are oriented with the two PPh3 groups trans to
each other and the olefin carbon
that is attached to PPh3 occupying the coordination site
neighboring to the bromide ligand.
Treatment of
trans-[R1CHCR2(PPh3)]+Br-
with Pd(dba)2 in the presence of 1 equiv of
PPh3
or P(OPh)3 gave the corresponding palladium complexes
Pd[trans-R1CHCR2(PPh3)](L)Br
(L = PPh3, R1 = Ph, R2 = H
(3). L = PPh3, R1 = Me,
R2 = H (7); R1 =
CO2Et, R2 = H
(8);
R1 = CO2Me, R2 = H
(9); R1 = H, R2 = Me
(10). L = P(OPh)3, R1 =
CO2Me, R2 = H (11))
in
54−92% yields. Substitution studies showed complexes
3 and 9 react with dppe
(1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) in dichloromethane to give
[Pd(RCHCH(PPh3)(dppe)]+Br-
(R
= Ph (12); R = CO2Me (13)),
but treatment of 9 and 11 with PPh3
and P(OPh)3, respectively,
afforded only the original complexes on isolation.
