Nucleophilic attack by 2-pyridylpalladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes on the organic chlorides ClCH2R (R  COMe, CN, Ph, Cl)

1992

Abstract The 2-pyridyl complexes trans-[MCl(C5H4NC2)(PPh3)2] (M = Pd, 1a; M = Pt, 1b), [MCl(C5H4NC2)(dppe)] (M = Pd, 2a; M = Pt, 2b) and [M(dmtc)(C5H4NC2) (PPh3)] (M = Pd, 3a; M = Pt,3b) react with the chlorides ClCH2R(R  COMe, CN, Ph) to give cationic products containing the 2-pyridylium ligands (1-CH2R)C5H4NC2. The rate of nucleophilic displacement of the chloride ion from ClCH2R depends on the central metal (Pt > Pd), on the coordination geometry (1 ~ 3) and on the substituent R (COMe > CN > Ph for the reactions with 3b). Like 1b and 2b, complex 3b also reacts with dichloromethane to give [Pt(dmtc){(1-CH2Cl)C5H4NC2}(PPh3)]+. The reaction of the binuclear compound [{PdCl(μ-C5H4NC2,…
