Figure 2.5. Oxidative Addition<br />

In Suzuki <strong>reaction</strong>s, oxidative addition <strong>in</strong>volves the <strong>in</strong>sertion of <strong>palladium</strong> metal<br />

<strong>in</strong>to an aryl halide. The empty ligand field orbital (LFO) of metal <strong>in</strong>teracts with the<br />

carbon halogen bond<strong>in</strong>g orbital, while a second orbital overlap occurs between the nonbond<strong>in</strong>g<br />

t2g orbital conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g an electron pair and the carbon-halogen antibond<strong>in</strong>g<br />

orbital. This destabilizes the carbon-halogen bond lead<strong>in</strong>g to cleavage and eventually<br />

oxidative addition to the <strong>palladium</strong>. The <strong>palladium</strong> catalyst <strong>in</strong> the <strong>reaction</strong> must be ‘0’<br />

oxidation state as an 18 electron system and after oxidative addition, it would be<br />

oxidation state of II as a 16 electron system (Figure 2.6).<br />

Figure 2.6. The Carbon- halogen bond cleavage <strong>in</strong> oxidative addition<br />

This step is often the rate-determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g step <strong>in</strong> a catalytic cycle. The relative<br />

reactivity of aryl halides decreases <strong>in</strong> the order of C- I > C-OTf > C-Br >> C-C1>>> C-<br />

F. Aryl and 1-alkenyl halides bear<strong>in</strong>g electron-withdraw<strong>in</strong>g groups are more reactive to<br />

the oxidative addition than those with donat<strong>in</strong>g groups (Miyaura and Suzuki 1995).<br />

2.2.1.2. Transmetallation<br />

Ar-Pd-X complexes formed by oxidative addition react with organic compounds<br />

(M-R) and hydrides (M-H) of ma<strong>in</strong> group metals such as Mg, Zn, B, Al, Sn, Si, and Hg.<br />
