Comparison between the reactivity patterns of the reactions of μ3-allyl(aryl)palladium complexes with allyl chlorides and those with styrene, allylbenzene, methyl iodide and benzyl chloride suggested the dual role of allyl chloride in enhancing the reductive elimination of these complexes, namely coordination to Pd through the C=C bond and removal of the electron density via oxidative addition.The product distribution pattern in the reductive elimination of Pd(η3-CH2CHCH2)(Ar)(EPh3) (1) (E=P, As; Ar=C6H3Cl2-2,5) accelerated by CH2=CMeCH2Cl (reaction A) and that of Pd(η3-CH2CMeCH2)(Ar)(EPh3) (2) accelerated by CH2=CHCH2Cl (reaction B) has been determined.For the reaction of the AsPh3 complexes, both A and B carried out in toluene and dichloromethane afforded, at the early stages, only the coupling product (allylbenzene derivative) associated with the allyl unit of the original complex itself.At the later stages the product derived from the substrate chloride increased owing to facile ligand exchange (allyl-methallyl and/or aryl-Cl) between 1 and 2 and the η3-allyl(chloro)palladium complex which is another product of the reductive elimination.Consistent with the oxidative addition of the allyl chlorides, the reaction of the PPh3 complexes in dichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane gave a greater quantity of the product derived from the substrate chloride than that from the complex even at the early stages.
