Abstract
Cyclopalladation of optically active α-monosubstituted primary benzylamines such as 2-phenylglycine methyl ester and 1-phenylethylamine has been studied. Palladium(II) acetate reacted with (R)-2-phenylglycine methyl ester hydrochloride to give the chloro-bridged dinuclear cyclopalladated complex (R,R)-[{Pd(µ-Cl)(C 6 H 4 CHCO 2 MeNH 2 )} 2 ] 1, whereas with (R)- or (S)-1-phenylethylamine palladium(II) acetate afforded the acetato-bridged dinuclear cyclopalladated complex (R,R)- or (S,S)-[{Pd(µ-O 2 CMe)(C 6 H 4 CHMeNH 2 )} 2 ] from which the chloro-bridged dinuclear complex (R,R)- or (S,S)-[{Pd(µ-Cl)(C 6 H 4 CHMeNH 2 )} 2 ] was obtained by metathetical reaction with sodium chloride. Complexes 1 and [{Pd(µ-Cl)(C 6 H 4 CHMeNH 2 )} 2 ] were converted into mononucler cyclopalladated complexes (R)-[PdCl(C 6 H 4 CHCO 2 MeNH 2 )(dmpy)], (R)-[PdCl(C 6 H 4 CHCO 2 MeNH 2 )(PPh 3 )] and (R)- or (S)-[PdCl(C 6 H 4 CHMeNH 2 )(dmpy)], by the bridge-splitting reactions with 3,5-dimethylpyridine (dmpy) and triphenylphosphine. The crystal structure of (R)-[PdCl(C 6 H 4 CHCO 2 MeNH 2 )(PPh 3 )] has been determined. A short contact between the amino group and carbonyl group probably represents a hydrogen bond.
