A series of Pd-PEPPSI complexes with various substitution pattern on the heterocyclic carbene backbone were designed, prepared and studied as catalysts in Negishi cross-coupling reactions of aryl and heteroaryl halides or triflates with secondary organozinc nucleophiles. In all the cases, the selectivity for the normal, non-rearranged products was observed Computational studies revealed that the relative barrier difference between reductive elimination and β-hydride elimination correlate well with observed selectivities. The best results were shown by the Pd-PEPPSI-IPentcl complex which demonstrated unprecedented selectivity leading to virtually one (desired) isomer for reactions of a wide selection of alkylzincs and highly functionalized (hetero)aromatic halides and triflates.
