Structure/reactivity trends and DFT studies reveal mechanistic differences and parallels for the carboxylation of Zr and Pd alkyls. CO2 reacts with Cp2ZrMe(C6D5Cl)+ >10 4 faster than with Cp2ZrMe2, yielding monoacetate products in both cases. These reactions proceed by insertion mechanisms in which Zr- - -O interactions activate the CO2. In contrast, CO2 reacts readily with [(PO-iPr)PdMe 2]- (PO-iPr- = 2-P iPr2-4-Me-C6H3SO3 -) to yield [(PO-iPr)PdMe(OAc)]- but not with (PO-iPr)PdMe(L) species. Carboxylation of [(PO-iPr) PdMe2]- occurs by direct SE2 attack of CO 2 at the Pd-Metrans-to-P group, and the nucleophilicity of the Pd-Me group controls the reactivity. However, the SE2 process is accelerated by a Li+- OCO interaction when Li+ is present.
