A number of important functional groups can be introduced into an organic molecule using C–X reductive elimination from the palladium(iv) center. A great variety of oxidants can be used to convert low-valent organopalladium species into their high-valent derivatives. Though our analysis was limited mostly to the cases of oxidative C–H functionalization, many other methods exist that allow the introduction of a hydrocarbyl ligand into the palladium(ii) coordination sphere. One can imagine that in some near future an even greater variety of C–X elimination reactions from palladium(iv) centers will be disclosed and, not less importantly, less expensive and environmentally more benign reagents will be used to achieve conversion of organopalladium(ii) species to their high-valent organopalladium derivatives. The latter may become possible as we improve our currently very limited understanding of mechanisms of oxidation of organopalladium(ii) complexes. Finally, the success of high-valent organopalladium chemistry boosted by new demanding practical applications of synthetic organic chemistry might lead to exploration and extensive growth of high-valent organometallic chemistry of some other transition metals.

Research paper thumbnail of Methyl transfer reactivity of pentachloromethylplatinate(IV) anion with a series of N-nucleophiles

Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, Feb 1, 2019

Reactivity of K 2 [Pt IV CH 3 Cl 5 ] toward a series of substituted N,N-dimethylanilines 1a-1g, N... more Reactivity of K 2 [Pt IV CH 3 Cl 5 ] toward a series of substituted N,N-dimethylanilines 1a-1g, N,Ndiisopropylaniline 1h and 2,6-substituted pyridines 2a-2b was investigated in 60% (vol.) aqueous acetone solutions. The reactions result in corresponding N-methylammonium or Nmethylpyridinium products, 3 or 4, with high selectivity for the substrates 1a-1g and 2b, and follow an overall 2 nd order kinetics, 1 st order in both the Pt IV complex and the amines. The reactivity is discussed in terms of the amine electronic properties and steric bulk. For the series of N,N-dimethylanilines 1a-1g, Me 2 NC 6 H 4 R (R = H, m-Cl, p-Cl, m-Me, p-Me, p-MeO, p-Me 2 N), a high quality linear correlation was found between logarithm of the reaction second order rate constant, log(k 2), and pK a of the anilines. At the same time, the reactivity of the bulkier N,N-diisopropylaniline substrate 1h is about 3 orders of magnitude lower than predicted using this correlation. Finally, the pyridines 2a-2b are 3-4 orders of magnitude less reactive than N,Ndimethylanilines of similar pK a. Interestingly, the reactivity of K 2 [Pt IV CH 3 Cl 5 ] toward N,Ndimethylanilines is of the same order of magnitude or slightly greater than that of a standard organic methylating agent, dimethylsulfate Me 2 SO 4. A computational (DFT) modeling of the title reaction is consistent with the formation of five-coordinate Pt IV Me electrophile, [Pt IV CH 3 Cl 4 ]-, which is involved in S N 2 attack at its methyl group carbon by nucleophilic amines.

Research paper thumbnail of Aerobic Epoxidation of Olefin by Platinum Catalysts Supported on Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

ACS Catalysis, 2016

We report platinum catalysts for the efficient aerobic oxidation of olefins to form epoxides and/... more We report platinum catalysts for the efficient aerobic oxidation of olefins to form epoxides and/or derived glycol monoethers. The catalystsdiaqua and dichloro Pt II complexes supported by the ligand di(2-pyridine)methanesulfonate (dpms)are most active when they are covalently tethered to mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Supporting the molecular Pt complexes on the MSNs prevents bimolecular catalyst deactivation. Using this strategy, >40 000 turnovers are achieved for the aerobic oxidation of norbornene in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. The position of the tether and the nature of other ligands in the metal coordination sphere (aqua, hydroxo, or chloro) are shown to affect the catalyst activity. The new MSN-supported Pt materials were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, nitrogen physisorption, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
