Detailed mechanistic studies of a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric C–N coupling led to a rational design of a new series of bis-phosphine mono-oxides ligated Pd(ii) pre-catalysts that allow for reliable and complete catalyst activation.

The coupling of carbon dioxide (CO2) with epoxides with the formation of cyclic carbonates is a highly attractive 100% atom economic reaction. It represents a greener and safer alternative to the conventional synthesis of cyclic carbonates from diols and toxic phosgene.

Mizoroki-Heck couplings are a powerful method for elaborating alkene feedstocks. While selective functionalization of terminal olefins has been achieved by catalyst design, selective functionalization of internal olefins has generally required use of directing groups except in the case of Michael acceptors. Allylamine substrates have typically required protection to be suitable for these reactions, decreasing the step and atom economy of these procedures. Herein we demonstrate that the addition of CO<sub>2</sub> (dry ice) allows for the reproducible stereospecific arylation of both secondary and primary allylamines in the presence of a Pd<sup>II</sup> catalyst. Notably, the product 3,3’-diarylallylamine motif is prevalent in a variety of biologically-relevant structures, and this method represents the most straightforward synthesis of these targets to date. Key features of the method are the ability to access relatively mild conditions that facilitate a broad substrate scope, as well as direct diarylation of terminal allylamine substrates. In addition, several complex and therapeutically-relevant molecules are included to demonstrate the utility of the transformation. Mechanistic studies point to an amine-directed reaction where CO<sub>2</sub> serves to protect the substrate and product from degradation.

Several pyridine-like ligands were found to improve Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed allylic oxidation of allylbenzene to cinnamyl acetate by p-benzoquinone in acetic acid. The best ligand examined, bipyrimidine, was used to identify the catalyst precursor for this system, (bipyrimidine)Pd(OAc)2, which was fully characterized. Mechanistic studies suggest the reaction takes place through disproportionation of (bipyrimidine)Pd(OAc)2 to form a bipyrimidine-bridged dimer, which reacts with olefin to form a PdII-olefin adduct, followed by allylic C–H activation to produce (η3-allyl)PdII species. The (η3-allyl)PdII intermediate undergoes a reversible acetate attack to generate a Pd0-(allyl acetate) adduct, which subsequently reacts with p-benzoquinone to release allyl acetate and regenerate (bipyrimidine)Pd(OAc)2. No KIE is observed for the competition experiment between allylbenzene-d0 and allylbenzene-d5 (CD2=CDCD2C6H5), suggesting that allylic C–H activation is not rate-determining. Catalytic allylic acetoxylations of other terminal olefins as well as cyclohexene were also effected by (bipyrimidine)Pd(OAc)2.Key words: olefin, palladium catalysis, allylic C–H oxidation, p-benzoquinone, bipyrimidine.
