ABSTRACT
The
synthetic
potential
of
the
cydometdation
reaction
with
a
view
to
the
func-
tionalization
of
aromatic
ortho
positions
and
to
the
formation
of
heterocydes
was
investigated
with
the
aid
of
four
examples
:
(1)
Severd
attempts
to
synthesize
simple
N-
or
S-conteining
heterocydes
start¬
ing
from
N,N-Dimethyl-o-toluidine
(1)
were
not
successful.
N,N-Dimethyl-
o-toluidine
(1)
could
certainly
be
cyclopalladated
to
yield
the
corresponding
complex
4,
which
after
reaction
with carbon
monoxide
in
methanol
gave
a
mixture
of
the
methyl
ester
6
and
the
methyl
ether
7.
But
the
N,N-dimethyla-
ted
ester
6
cannot
be
cydisized.
Therefore,
some
other
derivatives
of
o-tolui-
dine
(2)
were
investigated:
N-neopentylidene-o-toluidine
(9),
N-trichloro-
ethylidene-o-toluidine
(13),
N,N-diacetyl-o-toluidine
(14)
and
N-trimethyl-
silyl-o-toluidine
(17).
However,
palladation
of
these
Compounds
at
the
aro¬
matic
methyl
group
faUed,
as
did
the
oxidative
addition
reaction
of
o-amino-
benzyl
chloride
to
bis(dibenzylideneacetone)pdladium(0).
(2)
AcetanUide
(22)
reacted
with
palladium
acetete
to
give
the
complex
21,
which
was
treated
with
sodium
chloride
and
1,2-bis-p-tolylthio-ethane
(27)
to
afford
the
corresponding
complexes
20
and
28.
Reactions
of
these
complexes
with
the
reagents
mentioned
below
usually
rendered
acetanilide
(22)
as
the
main
product.
In
the
case
where
the
acetato
bridged
complex
21
was
treated
with
ammonium
thiocyanate
or
with
thiocyanogen,
surprisingly
the
2-cyano
acet¬
anilide
(29)
was
formed
with
expulsion
of
sulfur.
On
the
other
hand,
the
monomeric
complex
28
containing
the
S,S-bidentete
ligand
reacted
with
thio¬
cyanogen
to
yield
the
sulfur
containing
heterocycle
31
in
one
case
and
the
2-thiocyanato
acetanilide
(33)
in
another
reaction
under
similar conditions.
An
attempt
to
exchange
the
acetato
Ugand
of
complex
20
with
the bidentate
dithiocarbamate
(in
order
to
monomerize
complex
20
and
to
make
the
Pd-C
bond
more
reactive
towards
insertion
reagents)
led
to
the
symmetrical
biphenyl
24,
a
coupling
product
of
the
acetanilide
ligand.
The
same
product
was
obtained
when
complex
21
was
treated
with
sodium
azide,
whereas
p-toluenesulfone
azide
(35)
did
not
react.
Formation
of
the
acetylamino-benz-
amides
36
and
37
resulted
from
the
reaction
of
complex
20
with
isocyanides.
