Arylation (with NaBPfu in acetone) of the cyclobutadienepalladium complex,[PdCl2 (C4To4)] 2 (To= p-tolyl), gives the l-3-T/-cyclobutenyl complex [Pd (C4To4Ph) Cl] 2 with the phenyl group entering stereospecificallyendo to the metal. Ring opening occurs on reaction of the monomeric [Pd (C4To4Ph) X](X= acac, S2CNR2) with ligands (in particular, PPhMe2) to give the-butadienyl complexes [Pd (C4To4Ph) X (PPhMe2)], where the l-3-?;-cyclobutenyl ligand has opened ste-reospecifically in the expected conrotatory manner. In contrast, the cyclobutenyl dithiocarbamates [Pd (C4To4Ph)(S2CNR2>](17) undergo a spontaneous ring opening (2 days/20 C or 2 h/60 C) to give a mixture of theexpected conrotatory ring-opened,-butadienyl [Pd (C4To4Ph)(S2CNR2)][20, p-tolyls E on C (3), C (4)] and the unexpected, formally disrotatory, iso-mer [21, p-tolyls Z on C (3), C (4)] in a ca. 40: 60 ratio, as shown by an x-ray structure determination, HPLC, and NMR spec-troscopy. Investigations to elicit the route by which the isomer 21 is formed are described. The reaction 17— 20+ 21 is unimo-lecular and does not appear to involve ionic intermediates or to be photochemicallyinitiated. Free cyclobutenyl radicals are easily formed from these complexes and a convenient way is by reaction of cyclobutenyl complexes with Ph2PCH2PPh2 (dppm); this also leads to the Pd (I) complex [Pd2Cl2 (dppm) 2]. Evidence is presented against free radicals participating in the ring opening, and in favor of their being intermediates in decomposition side reactions. The reaction does notappear to proceed by a radical chain mechanism either. A mechanism is proposedwhich involves the conrotatory ring opening of 17 to give the expected isomer (20) which then equilibrates with theunexpected isomer (21) via a metallocyclopentenyl intermediate in which C (3) can flip from one side to the other.Over the past few years considerable interest has developed in ring-opening and closing reactions in organometallic systems and the mechanisms by which they proceed. One of us has, in this context, shown that in the Pd (II)-induced oligomerization of disubstituted acetylenes bearingbulky substituents the chief products are cyclobutadiene complexes (eg, 3) which arise by a cyclization of intermediate-butadienyl complexes (eg, I); 1· 2 a presumed but so far unconfirmed further intermediate is a chlorocyclobutenyl complex (2).
