Hydrogen tunneling in protonolysis of platinum(II) and palladium(II) methyl complexes: mechanistic implications
Abstract
The selective transformation of C-H bonds is an important area of current research; over the past several decades, numerous examples of C-H activation by transition metals have appeared in the literature.1 Of particular significance is the development of a number of homogeneous catalytic systems based on late transition metals, especially platinum2 and palladium.3 Several general mechanisms for C-H activation by transition metal complexes have been identified, including (1) electrophilic activation, (2) oxidative addition, (3) σ-bond metathesis, (4) 1,2-addition to metal-ligand multiple bonds, (5) H-atom abstraction by metal-oxo complexes, and (6) metalloradical activation.4 Kinetic hydrogen/deuterium isotope effects (KIEs) have been used extensively by many groups to probe the nature of these reactions and to gain key mechanistic insights.5
