Abstract: | A new type of quinoline-functionalized palladium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes has been synthesized via silver transmetallation. The quinoline moiety was either directly attached to the imidazole ring or linked to it by a methylene group. NHCs with a methylene linker tend to form trans biscarbene complexes in the reaction of Pd(COD)Cl2, while NHCs without any linker form chelating NHC-quinoline (NHC-N) complexes. These two types of carbenes also react with Pd(allyl)Cl]2 to give monodentate NHC palladium eta(3)-allyl chlorides Pd(NHC)(allyl)Cl]. Fluxionality in the NMR time scale was observed for most complexes, and the origin of their dynamic behaviors was discussed for each type of structure. For Pd(NHC)(allyl)Cl] with a relatively small wing tip group of the NHC, the fluxionality (selective line-broadening of (1)H NMR signals) is caused by selective eta(3)-eta(1)-eta(3) allyl isomerization. For NHC with a bulkier (t)Bu group, a different line-broadening pattern was observed and was ascribed to partially hindered Pd-C(carbene) bond rotation. For cationic chelating complexes Pd(NHC-N)(allyl)]BF4, the dynamic exchange process likely originates from a dissociative boat-to-boat inversion of 7-membered palladacycles. Activation parameters were measured for this process. Crystal structures were reported for representative complexes in each category. |
