The “trans rule” in Pd-catalyzed allylic substitutions predicts trans to phosphorus additions of nucleophiles to Pd–allyl intermediates, e.g., with P,N-ligands. This computational study reveals that not only the intrinsic electronic differentiation between P- (i.e., PH3) and N-ligands (i.e., para-X-substituted pyridines), but also the “late” or “early” nature of the transition structures is crucial for strong cis vs. trans discriminations and hence for selectivity. Although para-nitro pyridine exhibits less intrinsic electronic differentiation than para-dimethylamino pyridine, the higher reactivity of the Pd–allyl-intermediate and the earlier nature of the transition structure yield a higher sensitivity for electronic differentiation for XNO2 than XNMe2.
In Pd-catalyzed allylic substitutions, the sensitivity for electronic differentiation is higher for earlier transition structures, due to closer Pd–Cα contacts. This even overcompensates smaller intrinsic differentiation with para-nitro pyridine ligands, which yields the highest cis vs. trans differentiation and selectivity.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
