摘要
The reactivity of the electron-rich palladium alkyl cation, [Pd(dippe)R]+BAr4- (dippe = 1,2-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ethane; R = eta(3)-CH2Ph or CH3;BAr4 = {B[3,5-(F3C)(2)C6H3](4)})with a variety of small molecules is reported. Although the benzyl cation is unreactive towards carbon monoxide and dihydrogen, the corresponding methyl cation, [Pd(dippe)Me(s)](+) (s = Et2O, THF or o-dichlorobenzene) reacts rapidly with H-2 to produce the dihydride-bridged dimer {[(dippe)Pd](2)(mu-H)(2)}(2+), and with CO to produce the dinuclear mixed-valence, cationic complex [Pd(dippe)(mu-CO)Pd(dippe)Me][BAr4]. In addition, the methyl cation can abstract alkyl groups from neutral dialkyl complexes; thus, the addition of [Pd(dippe)Me(s)](+) to Pd(dippe)(CH2Ph)(2) results in the formation of the methyl benzyl derivative Pd(dippe)Me(CH2Ph) and the cationic benzyl cation [Pd(dippe)(eta(3)-CH2Ph)](+). Methyl group interchange is also observed for the reaction of the methyl cation with the neutral dimethyl; when [Pd(dippe)Me(s)](+) is mixed with Pd(dippe)((CH3)-C-13)(2), the carbon-13 label is immediately scrambled to the cation. These exchange reactions are suggested to occur via dinuclear intermediates. The mixed-valence dinuclear species mentioned above has been investigated in some detail; mechanistic studies have indicated that the addition of CO to [Pd(dippe)Me(s)](+) probably proceeds via simple substitution of the solvent by CO to generate the expected mononuclear methyl carbonyl cation [Pd(dippe)Me(CO)](+), followed by migratory insertion to give the acetyl carbonyl derivative [Pd(dippe)(COMe)(CO)](+). The final product is the dinuclear mixed-valence species [Pd(dippe)(mu-Co)Pd(dippe)Me][BAr4], which is accompanied by the formation of acetone (Me2CO) and the dicarbonyl dication [Pd(dippe)(CO)(2)](2+). Presumably, methyl transfer occurs at some stage from the methyl cation to generate the methyl-acetyl complex, Pd(dippe)Me(COMe); reductive elimination of acetone under CO from the methyl-acetyl complex produces the Pd-0 complex Pd(dippe)CO which then reacts with the starting methyl cation to generate the dinuclear mixed-valence species. Addition of CO to the mixed-valence species does not result in formation of mononuclear complexes, rather 1 equivalent of CO adds to form a new dinuclear complex with two bridging COs.
