Abstract: | Trans-metalation process in the palladium-catalyzed borylation of iodobenzene with diboron was theoretically investigated with the DFT method. Palladium(II) hydroxo phenyl complex, Pd(OH)(Ph)(PH(3))(2), and the fluoro analogue easily undergo the trans-metalation with diboron, B(2)(eg)(2) (eg = -OCH(2)CH(2)O-), to afford Pd(Ph)(Beg)(PH(3))(HO-Beg) and Pd(Ph)(Beg)(PH(3))(F-Beg), respectively, where B(2)(eg)(2) is adopted as a model of bis(pinacolato)diboron used experimentally. The electron re-distribution in the trans-metalation clearly indicates that the B-B bond scission occurs in a heterolytic manner. In the chloro analogue, PdCl(Ph)(PH(3))(2), however, the trans-metalation occurs in a homolytic manner with much difficulty, which is consistent with the experimental result. The significant differences between the chloro complex and the other hydroxo and fluoro complexes are easily interpreted in terms that hydroxo and fluoro ligands can form strongly bonding interaction with B(2)(eg)(2) but the chloro ligand cannot. |
