Abstract

Drent et al. [Chem. Commun. 2002, 9, 964] have recently shown that a neutral (P-O)Pd(II) catalyst based on o-alkoxy derivatives of diphenylphosphinobenzene sulfonic acid (la) can perform nonalternating CO/C 2H4 copolymerization in which the resulting polyketohe can have one or more subsequent ethylene units. We have analyzed this catalyst by comparing it to a cationic palladium catalyst, [(P-P)Pd(II)+] (1e), (P-P) = dppp = Ph2P-(CH2)3-PPh2, that affords polyketones with strictly alternating CO and C2H 4 units. We have also investigated a derivative (1b) of la in which the o-methoxy substituents were replaced by a o-isopropyl group in order to investigate whether increasing the steric bulk enhances the degree of nonalternation.
