The PdCl(2)-promoted reactions of methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) 1 bearing diaryl substituents on the terminal double bond were carefully investigated. The solvents employed significantly affected the reaction outcomes. It was found that dimeric allylpalladium(ii) complexes 2a-2f can be obtained as the sole products in acceptable to good yields under mild reaction conditions with THF as the solvent, while dimeric allylpalladium(ii) complexes 2a-2f along with another type of dimeric allylpalladium(ii) complexes 4a-4e can be obtained in good to high total yields if N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) was used as the solvent. Moreover, using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent in the presence of water, it was found that water can also participate in the reaction to form another type of dimeric allylpalladium(ii) complex 6 as the minor product. All of these dimeric allylpalladium(ii) complexes reported in the paper have been characterized by X-ray crystal structure diffraction.

Protein bioconjugation frequently makes use of aldehydes as reactive handles, with methods for their installation being highly valued. Here a new, powerful strategy to unmask a reactive protein aldehyde is presented. A genetically encoded caged glyoxyl aldehyde, situated in solvent-accessible locations, can be rapidly decaged through treatment with just one equivalent of allylpalladium(ii) chloride dimer at physiological pH.

The title compound, [PdBr(C(3)H(5))(C(9)H(8)N(2))], was synthesized by the reaction of the allyl-palladium(II) bromide dimer and 1-phenyl-1H-imidazole. The Pd atom is coordinated by one allyl group [in η(3) mode, the central CH group of the allyl group is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.668 (5):0.

Tri-nuclear allyl-palladium complexes, [Pd(μ-SeCH(2)CH(2)COOR)(η(3)-C(3)H(4)R')](3) (R = H, Me, Et and R' = H, Me), have been synthesized by the reaction of [Pd(2)(μ-Cl)(2)(η(3)-C(3)H(4)R')(2)] with NaSeCH(2)CH(2)COOR. These complexes exist in a dynamic equilibrium with a dimeric form in solution and are fluxional at room temperature as shown by variable temperature (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The DFT calculations indicate that there is a negligible energy difference between the dimer and the trimer, and suggest that the delicate balance between the steric factors and angular strain decides the reaction products.
