Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are widely used to construct carbonÀcarbon or carbonÀheteroatom bonds.[1] These transformations are frequently assisted by more than one metal, and Cu/Pd is probably one of the most frequently applied combinations, for example, in the Sonogashira and Stille reactions.[2] The precise effects of Cu salts in these transformations are not fully understood, but CuI is thought to play a catalytic, accelerating role in the transfer of an alkynyl group to Pd in the Sonogashira coupling (through formation of an organocopper species,[Cu (C CR)], which in turn is more readily transferred to PdII, Scheme 1).[3] Other reports suggest the facilitation of transmetalation by CuI salts via organocopper species in the Stille and Suzuki reactions also.[4, 5] On the other hand, a ligand-scavenging effect was also ascribed to CuI.[6, 7] Another possibility of Cu effect was added by Chen and co-workers recently, who reported a transmetalation of a methyl group at platinum, involving a PtII-CuI bimetallic species.[8] In contrast to these “accelerating” effects of Cu salts, Buchwald and co-workers also reported an inhibitory effect of Cu salts in Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of aryl chlorides.[9] A number of alternative, Cu-free variants of the Sonogashira transformation, or processes involving Ag salts instead,[10] were subsequently developed in recent years.[11] We herein report our observations of redox transformations of Pd0 catalysts to dinuclear PdI complexes in the presence of Cu and Ag salts, and address the origin of enhancement and/or inhibition of cross-coupling reactivity in the presence of oxidizing salts. Our results suggest the possibility of alternative cross-coupling cycles involving bimetallic PdI over the currently accepted co-existing, synergistic cycles involving Pd0/PdII and Cu (as shown in Scheme 1).
