Reactions of ligands (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L1), (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L2), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L3), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L4), and (E)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-N′-phenylbenzimidamide (L5) with [Pd(NCMe)2Cl2] furnished the corresponding palladium(II) precatalysts (Pd1–Pd5), in good yields. Molecular structures of Pd2 and Pd3 revealed that the ligands coordinate in a N^N bidentate mode to afford square planar compounds. Activation of the palladium(II) complexes with para-tolyl sulfonic acid (PTSA) afforded active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of a number of alkene. The resultant catalytic activities were controlled by the both the complex structure and alkene substrate. While aliphatic substrates favored the formation of linear esters (>70%), styrene substrate resulted in the formation of predominantly branched esters of up to 91%.

The Schiff base compounds 2-phenyl-2-((3(triethoxysilyl)propyl)imino)ethanol (HL1) and 4-methyl-2-((3(triethoxysilyl)propyl)imino)methyl)phenol (HL2) were synthesized via condensation reactions of a suitable ketone or aldehyde and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxy silane (APTES). Whereas the reactions of HL1 and HL2 with [Pd(OAc)2] afforded the bis(chelated) palladium compounds [Pd(L1)2] (1) and [Pd(L2)2] (2), treatments of HL1 and HL2 with [Pd(NCMe)2Cl2] gave the mono(chelated) complexes [Pd(HL1)2Cl2] (3) and [Pd(HL2)2Cl2] (4) respectively. Structural characterization of the compounds was achieved using NMR and FT-IR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry and micro-analyses. Complexes 1–4 gave active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of higher olefins producing linear esters as the major products. The coordination environment around the palladium center of the complexes dictated the relative catalytic activity, where the bis(chelated) analogues 1 and 2 were more active than the mono(chelated) analogues 3 and 4. The nature of the acid promoter, phosphine groups, solvent system, olefin substrate and reactions conditions influenced the catalytic behaviour of the complexes.
Toward the development of efficient and stable Pd-catalysts for the methoxycarbonylation of medium chain alkenes

Methoxycarbonylation provides a one-step synthesis to valuable ester products utilised in both the fine and heavy chemical industry. However, in general, reaction rates for longer chain alkenes are poor which renders industrial implementation economical unviable. In cases where suitable rates are achieved, the requisite reagents are costly and in addition, the catalyst complexes readily decompose at elevated temperatures. This paper describes the use of an alternative ligand structural motif for the efficient methoxycarbonylation of terminal and internal medium chain alkenes to their corresponding esters. Promising results were obtained using a catalyst complex generated in situ from an unsymmetrical diphosphine ligand based on a ferrocene backbone, Pd(OAc)2 and methane sulfonic acid.
