Abstract
Synthesis and catalytic activity of palladium complexes with 8-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)quinolinone (3) were investigated. Complexation of 3 with (CH3CN)2PdCl2 gave the dimeric palladium complex [N,N-(3)PdCl]2 (4). The structure of 4 was characterized by 1H/13C NMR and mass spectroscopic methods, and further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Complex 4 acts as a catalyst for oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds. In this work, the hydration of styrenes catalysed by 4, via an anti-Markovnikov's Wacker manner, provided the terminal aldehyde as the initial product, which then underwent C-C cleavage to yield the corresponding benzaldehydes. Systematic studies of this catalysis were discussed.
