Epoxy compounds usually have stronger nucleophilic ability, because the alkyl group on the oxygen atom makes the bond angle smaller, which makes the lone pair of electrons react more dissimilarly with the electron-deficient system. Compound: Palladium(II) acetate, is researched, Molecular C4H6O4Pd, CAS is 3375-31-3, about Palladium-catalyzed sabinene oxidation with hydrogen peroxide: Smart fragrance production and DFT insights.Safety of Palladium(II) acetate.
Fragrance substances derived from natural sources are essential to the fine chem. industry, being an interesting task to pursue. Herein, we present a smart catalytic oxidation route for bio-renewable (1R,5R)-sabinene obtainment in acetonitrile or acetone, just using Pd(OAc)2 as catalyst and hydrogen peroxide as an final oxidant. The products obtained from (1R,5R)-sabinene and their mixtures have a distinct and pleasant smell and therefore are candidates for fragrance and pharmacol. applications. Three oxyfunctionalized products were obtained with ca. 80% combined selectivity at high substrate conversions. The major products, two novel isomeric carane-type ketones with a bicyclo[4.1.0] skeleton, were formed by expanding the five-membered ring in the sabinene mol., while (-)-sabina ketone was produced as a minor product. An uncommon mechanistic route was suggested and supported by d. functions theory (DFT), which could suitably explain the formation of these ketones. DFT results supported a proposed concerted mechanism for the C-C activation, like a semipinacol rearrangement, which includes a heterolysis of the Pd-C bond and synchronous cleavage of the C-C bond in an intermediate organopalladium peroxo complex. We highly believe that such findings allow a step forward a deep understanding of such organic transformation, helping in future new routes for value-added products.
