Dynamic behaviour of monohaptoallylpalladium species: internal coordination as a driving force in allylic alkylation chemistry
Contemporary catalytic procedures involving alkylpalladium(II) have enriched the arsenal of synthetic organic chemistry. Those transformations usually rely on internal coordination through âdirecting groupsâ, carefully designed to maximize catalytic efficiency and regioselectivity. Herein, we report structural and reactivity studies of a series of internally coordinated monohaptoallylpalladium complexes. These species enable the direct spectroscopic observation and theoretical study of ĎâĎâĎ interconversion processes. They further display unusual dynamic behavior which should be of direct relevance to chemistries beyond catalytic allylic alkylation

Reactivity of Lewis Acid Activated Diaza- and Dithiaboroles in Electrophilic Arene Borylation
Hydride abstraction from <i>N,N</i>â˛-bisÂ(adamantyl)<sub></sub>-1-hydrido-1,3,2-benzodiazaborole with catalytic [Ph<sub>3</sub>C]Â[<i>closo</i>-CB<sub>11</sub>H<sub>6</sub>Br<sub>6</sub>] resulted in a low yield of arene borylation and a major product
derived from migration of both adamantyl groups to the arene backbone.
In contrast, the related aryl-substituted diazaborole <i>N,N</i>â˛-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1-bromo-1,3,2-diazaborole did not
borylate benzene or toluene, being resistant to halide abstraction
even with strong halide acceptors: e.g., [Et<sub>3</sub>Si]Â[<i>closo</i>-CB<sub>11</sub>H<sub>6</sub>Br<sub>6</sub>]. The reactivity
disparity arises from greater steric shielding of the boron p<sub><i>z</i></sub> orbital in the 2,6-diisopropylphenyl-substituted
diazaboroles. Boron electrophiles derived from 1-chloro-1,3,2-benzodithiaborole
((CatS<sub>2</sub>)ÂBCl) are active for arene borylation, displaying
reactivity between that of catecholato- and dichloro-boron electrophiles.
[(CatS<sub>2</sub>)ÂBÂ(NEt<sub>3</sub>)]Â[AlCl<sub>4</sub>] is significantly
less prone to nucleophile-induced transfer of halide from [AlCl<sub>4</sub>]ÂŻ to boron compared to catecholato<i> </i> and dichloro borocations, enabling it to borylate arenes containing
nucleophilic âNMe<sub>2</sub> moieties in high conversion (e.g., <i>N,N</i>,4-trimethylaniline and 1,8-bisÂ(dimethylamino)Ânaphthalene).
Calculations indicate that the magnitude of positive charge at boron
is a key factor in determining the propensity of chloride transfer
from [AlCl<sub>4</sub>]ÂŻ to boron on addition of a nucleophile
