The four ethylene hydrogens comprise an ABCD system under slow rotation conditions, and an AA′BB′ system under fast rotation conditions.

[26]

The oligomerization distribution produced by5at 30 atm of ethylene fit a Shultz−Flory distribution (α = 0.35 and β = 1.8). However, oligomerizations at 2.7 atm of ethylene pressure did not produce Shultz−Flory distributions.

[27]

The compound [1H][B(C6F5)4] was generated quantitatively by the reaction of1(10 mg, 20 µmol) and [H(OEt2)2][B(C6F5)4] (16 mg, 20 µmol) in CD2Cl2(0.7 mL) for 10 min at 25 °C.1H NMR (CD2Cl2, 25 °C): δ 12.63 (br s, 1H, H+), 7.24 (m, 12 H, 4-Me-C6H4), 6.50 (s, 1H, CH), 6.06 (s, 2H, pz* H4), 2.39 (s, 9H, 4-Me-C6H4), 2.21 (s, 3H, pz* Me), 2.05 (s, 3H, pz* Me). ESI-MS: [(pz*)2CHSi(p-tolyl)3]H+calcdm/z505.2, found 505.2. [1H][B(C6F5)4] decomposes in CD2Cl2solution at 25 °C (ca. 25% after 24 h).

Two diastereomers are possible for6, which differ in the relative configurations of the N^N bridging carbon and the isopropyl methine carbon. Exchange of the agostic and nonagostic methyl groups by Pd−C bond rotation interconverts the diastereomers of6. However, only one set of resonances is observed for6at all temperatures. It is likely that the NMR spectra of the two diastereomers are very similar due to the remoteness of the two stereocenters.

[30]

The broad resonance at δ 4.26 integrates for 4H and results from the overlap of the two resonances expected for the bound ethylene, which, based on the low-temperature limit spectrum, have very similar chemical shifts (Δδ = 0.12).

The acetonitrile complex [{(p-tolyl)3SiCH(pz*)2}Pd(R)MeCN][B(C6F5)4]8bwas generated to probe the alkyl chain distribution. However, reaction of MeCN with8in CD2Cl2at −10 °C yields an equilibrium mixture of8and8b(Keq= [8b][8]−1[MeCN]−1= 240 M−1), from which little information about the alkyl chain distribution could be obtained.

Even if intermolecular CO exchange were fast on the NMR time scale, the pz* site exchange would not be explained since associative CO exchange is expected to be stereospecific.

[35]

A similar exchange process was noted for H2C(pz)2Pd{C(═O)Me}CO+and H2C(3,5-Me2-pz)2Pd{C(═O)Me}CO+but was not studied in detail. See ref 1a.

[36]

The1H NMR spectrum of8acontains one broad resonance for the two pz*-H4 hydrogens at –40 °C. The13C NMR pz* resonances are broadened into the baseline and the bound and free CO resonances are sharp at –40 °C. The results show that pz* exchange is fast on the NMR time scale and does not involve intermolecular CO exchange at −40 °C.

[37]

For6at 20 °C, the excess linewidth of the pz*-H4/H4′ resonance is Δω1/2= 6 Hz (relative to the (p-tolyl)3SiCHresonance), andkexch= πΔω1/2= 19 s−1.

The pz* and (p-tolyl)3SiCH resonances do not shift or broaden significantly due to temperature or solvent.

[48]

The other two ethylene1H NMR resonances (δ 5.42, 2.86) were broadened into the baseline at −105 °C.

The oligomer mixtures were hydrogenated (MeOH, 1 atm of H2, 10% Pd/C). GC-MS analysis of the product showed that a mixture of branched alkanes was formed.
