A new method for the synthesis of cyclopalladated compounds based on a ligand-exchange reaction of the form 1/2(Pd(N-C)Cl/sub 2/ + N-C*-H in equilibrium 1/2(Pd(N-C*)Cl)/sub 2/ + N-C-H, where N-C-H and N-C*-H are organic ligands which form cyclopalladated complexes, has been proposed. The reaction takes place at 25-50/sup 0/C in binary mixtures of acetic acid (HOAc) with an organic solvent (benzene or chloroform). The reaction does not take place without HOAc. The cyclopalladated derivatives of N,N-dimethyl-benzylamine and dimethylaminomethylferrocene serve as the original complexes. Azobenzene, 8-methylquinoline, 2-benzylpyridine, and other ligands undergo the reaction, i.e., the reaction is accompanied by the activation of sp/sup 3/ and sp/sup 2/ C-H bonds and results in the formation of five- and six-membered palladium-containing rings. The synthetic possibilities of the reaction, as well as the limits of its application, have been demonstrated. A possible mechanism for the process has been discussed.
