This communication describes the first observation and study of C-H activation at a Pd(IV) center. This transformation was achieved by designing model complexes in which the rate of reductive elimination is slowed relative to that of the desired C-H activation process. Remarkably, the C-H activation reaction can proceed under mild conditions and with complementary site selectivity to analogous transformations at Pd(II). These results provide a platform for incorporating this new reaction as a step in catalytic processes.
本通讯描述了首例钯(IV)中心 C-H 键活化的观察和研究。通过设计模型配合物,使还原消除的速率相对于所需的 C-H 活化过程减慢,从而实现了这种转化。值得注意的是,C-H 活化反应可以在温和条件下进行,并具有与 Pd(II) 类似转化互补的位点选择性。这些结果为将这一新反应纳入催化过程提供了一个平台。
