| Popis: | A dramatic improvement of the catalytic activity was observed when a phosphine was added in allylic alkylation reactions catalyzed by (NHC)Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl complexes. Consequently, several palladium complexes, generated in situ from different NHC–silver complexes, [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl]2 and PPh3, were tested in this reaction to evaluate their potential. High reaction rates and conversions could be obtained with this catalytic system in the alkylation of allylic acetates with dimethylmalonate, particularly under biphasic conditions using water/dichloromethane and KOH 1 M as the base. These conditions are experimentally more convenient and gave higher reaction rates than the classical anhydrous conditions (NaH/THF). In this system, the phosphine is essential since no conversion was obtained when it is not present. The steric hindrance of the carbene ligand has a great influence on the activity and the stability of the catalytic system. The best NHC ligands for this reaction are either 1-mesityl-3-methyl-imidazol-2-ylidene or 1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3-methyl-imidazol-2-ylidene which are less bulky among the NHC tested. These two ligands led in 5 min to a complete conversion at 20 °C. The Pd-catalyzed allylic amination reaction using (E)-1,3-diphenylprop-3-en-yl acetate and benzylamine was also tested with (NHC)(PPh3)Pd complexes and under the biphasic conditions. This reaction was found to be slower than the alkylation with dimethylmalonate but a complete conversion could be reached in 6 h at 20 °C using K2CO3 1 M as the base. NMR experiments indicated that mixed (NHC)(PPh3)Pd complexes are formed in situ but their structure could not be established exactly. |
