Transition metal catalyzed transformations of unsaturated molecules: Progress report for the period August 1, 1984-January 31, 1987
Focus of the research has been in the area of homogeneous catalysis. The catalysis of organic transformations by soluble transition metal compounds has gained widespread attention because of the high efficiency, high specificity and low energy demands often associated with such systems. During the grant period work was performed in four broad areas: the palladium(II) and rhodium(I) catalyzed copolymerization and cooligomerization of carbon monoxide with olefins that lead to the formation of unique polyketones with strictly alternating structures, the reaction chemistry of palladium(II)-acyls including the insertion of olefins into the palladium(II)-acyl bond, and the isomerization of palladium(II)-acyls that led to the discovery of a novel palladium(II) catalyzed process for the isomerization of carboxylic acid chlorides, the synthesis and reactivity of ..cap alpha..-ketoacyl and acylalkoxycarbonyl complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II) - possible models for the intermediates involved in the palladium(II) catalyzed ''double carbonylation'' reactions and, the reactivity of electrophilic, weakly solvated, cationic palladium(II) compounds and their monoalkyl derivatives vis-a-vis olefins and arenes.
