Oxidation Involved in Organometallic Reactions

Katsuhiko ICHIKAWA* and Sakae UEMURA**

Received March 1, 1972

Results, obtained on the oxidation involved in organometallic reactions, have been classified into SN1 and SN2 type, oxidative substitution in aromatics, oxidative coupling and oxidative addition. Major interests are in the reactions of Hg, TI, Cu and Pd compounds. Related results

reported in the literature are also reviewed briefly.

Organometallic compounds involving polyvalent heavy metal atoms show many other interesting properties than those of carbanion chemistry which is the major interests in organometallics such as alkali metal and magnesium compounds. Present

paper reviews our results on the oxidation involved in organo-mercury, -thallium, -copper and -palladium compounds.

Related results reported in the literature are also reviewed briefly.

As an organic reaction, the present oxidation can be classified into 1. SN 1 type, 2. SN2 type, 3. oxidative substitution in aromatics, 4. oxidative coupling, and 5. oxidative addition.

1. SN1 Type

Alkyl- and aralkyl-mercuric salts, when dissolved in acetic acid containing strong acids such as perchloric acid and boron trifluoride, give alkyl and aralkyl acetate."

R—Hg—X + H+ > R—Hg+ + HX

R—Hg+ ----> R+ + Hg

R+ + HOAc > R—OAc H+ Hg(II) — > Hg(0)

Rates of reaction change remarkably by the changes in X, the structure of R and

acidity of the reaction medium. This type of reaction is in sharp contrast to the usual one of organometallics in which R is splitted with proton to give RH.

R — M+HX >RH+MX

The driving force of this unusual reaction is the oxidizing power of mercury(II).

2. SN2 Type

3,3-Diacetylpropylmercuric chloride, which can be obtained by the reaction of oxymercurial from ethylene with acetylacetone, gives 1,1-diacetylcyclopropane upon treating with aqueous potassium hydroxide at room temperature.2

According to the usual classification, this type of reaction belongs to SNi or r-

elimination. The driving force is the oxidizing power of mercury(II) assisted with nucleophilic attack of carbanion.

3. Oxidative Substitution in Aromatics

Aromatic mercuration is well known as a typical electrophilic aromatic substi-

tution in which the valency of Hg(11) remains unchanged throughout the reaction.3' In the case of oxynitration of aromatics with nitric acid in the presence of mercury salt, however, it seems likely that the catalytic role of mercury involves oxidation– reduction.4' This type of aromatic oxidation with metallic salts might be a possible method of

preparation of phenols from aromatic hydrocarbons. Along this line, several experiments have been done. Palladium(11) salts react

with aromatic hydrocarbons to give three types of products, phenol derivatives, aromatic coupling products and oxidation products of side chains. Product distributions vary remarkably by changing gegen ions of Pd(1I).

For example, the main product of the reaction of benzene with Pd(NO3)2 in acetic acid at 90° is phenyl acetate, while biphenyl is the only product with PdSO4.2H20. Table I shows examples of the product distributions with various Pd(II) salts.5'

Recent report° revealed that oxygen plays an important role in determining

product distribution (Table 11). It is assumed that the reaction proceeds through oxypalladation and dehydropalladation. The troubles in the experiments with Pd(OAc)2, however, are poor reproducibilities and difficulties in the preparation of

it is reported that irradiation of aqueous solution of PhTI(0C0CF3)2 containing

potassium cyanide gives benzonitrile.9' Copper salts are required and both cuprous and cupric salts react similarly. The results are similar to those of decomposition of diaryliodonium salts with cuprous chloride10' and Sandmeyer reaction of aromatic diazonium ions.'"

In the case of mercury, A is stable and can be isolated in good yields. If an analogy could be applicable to the case of palladium, the corresponding intermediate (A) would

be unstable and undergo dehydropalladation. Assuming trans oxypalladation and cis dehydropalladation, the stereochemistry could be explained.

4. Oxidative Coupling

It is well known that Grignard reagents give coupling products through radical mechanism in the presence of transition metal salts.14'

Met Salt C6H5MgC1 ------> C6H5—C6H5

Recently direct coupling of aromatic hydrocarbons in the presence of Pd(II) salt have been reported.'5,

PdC12 C6H6 -------> C6H5—C6H5 Pd(II) > Pd(0)

NaOAc

The relationship between the mechanisms of the two types of coupling reaction appears to be important to clarify the chemistry of organopalladium compound. It is

pointed out that Pd(II) salt reacts with aromatics as an electrophilic reagent.16' If this is the case, the coupling might be the results of the reaction of arylpalladium compounds.

In order to make this problem clear, and to generalize it further to other cases of various metals, the reaction of aromatic thallium compounds in the presence of catalytic amounts of various metal halides has been studied, since the thallium compounds can be prepared easily by the reaction of titanic acetate with aromatics under the con-ditions which are similar to those of direct coupling with Pd(II) salt.L7

Phenylthallic acetate perchlorate C6H5T1 (OAc)(C104) • H2O was subjected to the reaction with various metallic salts in refluxing acetic acid for 5 hrs. Four kinds of

product, biphenyl, benzene, chlorobenzene and phenyl acetate were obtained. Benzene and chlorobenzene, and phenyl acetate were the products of dethallation with acid and

the oxidative substitution mentioned earlier respectively. Yields of biphenyl changed remarkably by the change of metal salts. The results

are reported in Table III.18)

11% yield together with almost the same yield of biphenyl. In the cases of ferrous chloride (hydrated), anhydrous cupric chloride and thallic chloride, the yields were not reproducible and changed in the range between 5-95 %, suggesting the radical mechanism. With palladium chloride, however, radical mechanism appears to be inapplicable, since the addition of radical scavenger or the radical sources did not affect the product distribution nor the yields of biphenyl.

Mixtures of arylthallic salts gave cross coupling products.

In the cases of phenyl- and tolyl-, and phenyl- and o-xylyl derivatives, the ratios of the yields of R—R, R—R' and R'—R' were about 1:2:1, i.e., statistical values in both cases. The mixture of CI13 • C6H4 • TI(OCOCF3)2(R) and Cl •C6H4 • Tl(OCOCF3)2 (R') gave R-R, R-R', R'-R' in a ratio of 1:1.3:0.4, showing that the coupling is slower in the case of phenylthallic derivative substituted with negative group.

5. Oxidative Addition

a. Oxymetallation

Metal salts react with olefins to form two types of organometallic compound,

oxymetallation product and 7r-complex.21' A number of oxymercurials have been

prepared and well characterized.

\ /CI I _ \ + Hg(OAc)2 -------------r

ROH ORHgOAc

R H, alkyl or acyL

Usually, the addition proceeds very fast in trans form without side reaction at room temperature. Recent reports revealed that amines could be used as the solvent and oxymercuration could be extended further to solvomercuration.2"

Through oxythallation with thallic acetate, several oxythallation products have been isolated.211 In contrast to the case of oxymercuration, where the products are very stable usually, those of oxythallation are rather unstable and not always easy to isolate.

With lead tetraacetate, no oxyplumbation product has been isolated yet, although some evidence for the formation of the same kind of product could be obtained in a special case.2"

It is well known that palladous chloride forms it-complexes with various olefins

and whether oxypalladation occurs or not has been a subject of discussion. However, these are assumed as the intermediate of many reactions of 7r-complexes, and the relation between 7r-complex formation and oxypalladation appears to be important to understand the reaction of olefins with palladium salts.

In general, oxidation of olefins with Hg(II), Tl(III) and Pb(IV), including those of enols, appears to proceed through oxymetallation.

This type of reaction has never been observed in the case of oxymercurials, since

they are much more stable. For the demercuration of oxymercurials, the presence of strong acid is required usually and the epoxide will react further to form glycols or carbonyl compounds even if it could be formed.

Although much work on oxymetallation reactions of olefins has been published, little is known of those with conjugated dienes. While only 1,2-addition was reported

with mercuric acetate, 1,4-addition also has been observed with thallic and plumbic acetate.23' Both synthetic and mechanistic works are required in the field.

The formation of guanidine and urea derivative from isocyanate-HgC12 is reported recently.24' Although the mechanism was not discussed, the reaction could be through oxymercurials of N triple bond.

b. Reaction with Pd(II) Salt As is mentioned above, oxypalladation product has not yet been isolated except

in the case of some dienes. However, its formation has been assumed in various types of oxidation of olefin with Pd(11) salts. For example, even in the typical reaction of rr-complex of ethylene to form acetaldehyde (Hochst-Wacker process), oxypalladation

Direct oxypalladation of olefin has been often postulated in the case of palladous acetate oxidation. Conflicting conclusions on the same cyclohexene oxidation, however, have been reported recently.25' As a possible method of studying this problem is to

analyze the reaction of palladium salt with oxythallium and oxymercury compounds, since the metal exchange is expected to form oxypalladium compound. It was reported that hydroxy-, ethoxy- and acetoxy-ethylmercuric salts react with palladium chloride in ether to give acetaldehyde, vinyl ethyl ether and vinyl acetate respectively.2G'

These products are the same as those obtained by the oxidation of ethylene with

palladous chloride in water and with palladous acetate in acetic acid. The special feature of the results is that hydride shift occurred in hydroxy-ethylpalladium salt while dehydropalladation proceeded in ethoxy- and acetoxy-ethylpalladium salt.

Along the same line, oxythallium and oxymercury compound from styrene have been subjected to the reaction with palladium salt. In the absence of palladium salt, the oxythallium compound gave phenylacetaldehyde acetal upon refluxing in methanol solution. Addition of palladous chloride resulted in the formation of acetophenone ketal together with phenylacetaldehyde acetal.. In the presence of sodium acetate, only ketal was formed. It appears that ketal has resulted from oxypalladium com-

pounds which is formed by metal exchange of oxythallium compound, and the presence of sodium acetate accelerated the exchange. Typical results are presented in Table IV.27) The addition of boron trifluoride or cupric chloride increased the yield of acetal, but did not form ketal. The mechanism of acetal formation is believed to be as follows.

In the absence of Pd salt, the carbonium ion, resulted from dethallation, forms

In the presence of Pd salt, the metal exchange forms oxypalladation product. Dehy-dropalladation which is assumed in palladous acetate oxidation should form a-phenyl-vinyl methyl ether, which in turn might form acetophenone ketal through addition of methanol. If this is the case, acetophenone should contain deuterium when the reaction is carried out in methanol-O-d. Since no deuterium incorporation was observed, this reaction scheme is not applicable. If the hydride shift can be assumed as in the case

of ethylene oxidation (p 233), the ketal formation can be explained as mentioned above.

In general, however, phenyl migration is much more easy than hydrogen migration

usually. The above mechanism, therefore, must be oversimplified one, and the detailed

mechanism requires further investigation in connection with dehydropalladation which

is assumed in many cases. Using oxymercury compounds, the same kind of result has

been obtained (Table V).

It is well known that, in palladium salt oxidation of olefin, cupric salt is added to oxidize palladium metal to palladous salt and to make the reaction catalytic. The addition of cupric salt, however, changes the types of product in some cases. In the

presence of cupric chloride, saturated compounds are formed, while only unsaturated product are obtained in the absence of the salt.30' The following examples are reported, although the mechanisms are not yet clear.

known, only few examples of those with cupric salt have been reported.31 However, the chlorination of olefins with cupric chloride was found to proceed under milder conditions.32' At least as a transient intermediate, it appears that some complex is formed as an intermediate and subsequent oxidation results in chlorination reaction.

C = C\ 2CuC12 > —C----C Cu2C12 Cl Cl

Halogenation with metal halides including the chlorination is reviewed in an

article in the next issue.
