Abstract
A first palladium-catalyzed intramolecular diamination of unfunctionalized terminal alkenes has recently been reported. This study investigates the details of its mechanistic course based on NMR titration, kinetic measurements competition experiments, and deuterium labeling. It concludes a two-step procedure consisting of syn-aminopalladation with an unligated palladium(II) catalyst state followed by oxidation to palladium(IV) and subsequent C-N bond formation to give the final products as cyclic diamines. Related reactions employing sulfamides give rise to aminoalkoxy-functionalization of alkenes. This process was investigated employing deuterated alkenes and found to follow an identical mechanism where stereochemistry is concerned. It exemplifies the importance of cationic palladium(IV) intermediates prior to the final reductive elimination from palladium and proves that the nucelophile for this step stems from the immediate coordination sphere of the palladium(IV) precursor. These results have important implications for the general development of alkene 1,2-difunctionalization and for the individual processes of aminopalladation and palladium-catalyzed C(alkyl)-N bond formation.
