    Insertion of benzyne into the Pd–C bond. Synthesis of unnatural amino acid derivatives by sequential insertion of benzyne and CO: 2,2’-functionalized biaryls containing alkylamino and carboxymethyl substituents. Isolation of stable carbopalladated-benzyne intermediates

    Reaction of ortho-palladated derivatives of phentermine and homoveratrylamine with benzyne allows the synthesis of enlarged eight-membered palladacycles resulting from the insertion of the aryne into the Pd–C bond, which subsequently react with CO, to render unnatural amino acid derivatives.

    Sequential Insertion of Alkynes, Alkenes, and CO into the Pd-C Bond of ortho-Palladated Primary Phenethylamines: from Allyl Complexes and Enlarged Palladacycles to Functionalized Arylalkylamines
    (ACS, ) García-López, José-Antonio; Oliva-Madrid, María-José; Bautista, Delia; Vicente, José; Saura-Llamas, Isabel; Química Inorgánica
    The eight-membered metallacycles arising from the insertion of one equiv of alkyne into the Pd-C bond of ortho-metalated homoveratrylamine and phentermine can further react with alkenes to give two different types of mononuclear complexes depending on the nature of the olefin. When terminal alkenes (styrene and ethyl acrylate) are used, a mixture of the anti/syn allyl-Pd(II) complexes are isolated, which evolve slowly to the syn isomers by heating the mixtures appropriately. These allyl Pd(II) complexes do not react with CO or weak bases, but when treated with a strong base, such as KOtBu, they afford Pd(0) and the functionalized starting phenethylamines containing a 1,3-butadienyl substituent in ortho position. When 2-norbornene was used instead of terminal alkenes, the strained olefin inserts into the alkenyl-Pd(II) complex to afford a ten-membered norbornyl-palladium(II) complex, in which the new C,N-chelate ligand is coordinated to the metal through an additional double bond, occupying three coordination positions. The reactivity of these norbornyl-complexes depends on the substituents on the inserted alkenyl fragment, and thus they can further react with: (1) KOtBu, to give Pd(0) and a tetrahydroisoquinoline nucleus containing a tricyclo[3.2.1]octyl ring, or (2) CO and TlOTf, to afford Pd(0) and amino acid derivatives or the corresponding lactones arising from an intramolecular Michael addition of the CO2H group to the alpha,beta-unsaturated ester moiety. Crystal structures of every type of compounds have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies.
