| Abstract | |
Eletronspray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has become a practical tool to study reaction mechanisms in solution. In this work important reactions catalyzed by palladium: Heck-Mizoroki reaction, oxa-Heck reaction and Buchwald-Hartwig coupling were monitored by ESI-MS to intercept transient intermediates that show the current mechanistic proposals or to open the way for new proposals for these reactions. These reaction was monitored in offline mode, whereas aliquots of the reaction solutions were withdrawn and diluted in appropriate solvents and injected by direct infusion at the Q-TOF in pre-defined intervals of time. Important intermediates from these reactions were intercepted by ESI-MS and characterized by its tandem version ESI-MS/MS, which allowed confirming the catalytic species responsible for the formation of carbon-carbon bond in the Heck-Mizoroki reaction, the main intermediaries mechanistic proposal from this reaction and the current proposals of oxa-Heck reaction and the Buchwald-Hartwig coupling. In oxa-Heck reaction, the intercepted palladacycles are the first experimental evidence for this current mechanistic proposal for this interesting transformation (AU) | |
