Dinuclear Palladium(II) and -(III) Compounds with O,O-Chelating Ligands. Room-Temperature Direct 2-Phenylation of 1-Methylindole

2012

New dinuclear palladium(III) compounds of general formula Pd2[(C6H4)PPh2]2[O–O]2Cl2, O–O being chelating phenolates C6H4OC(O)R (R = CH3, 3a; R = C2H5, 3b; R = OPh, 3c) or acetylacetonates RC(O)CHC(O)R (R = CH3, 4a; R = CF3, 4b; R = C(CH3)3, 4c), have been obtained by oxidation with PhICl2 of the corresponding palladium(II) compounds. The stability of the new compounds has been studied by 31P NMR spectroscopy from 200 to 298 K. DFT calculations of the stability of the complexes have also been performed. In agreement with these calculations, only compound Pd2[(C6H4)PPh2]2[(CF3C(O)CHC(O)CF3]2Cl2, 6b, showed the highest thermal stability. 6b was characterized by X-ray diffraction methods, prese…
