The reductive elimination in the amination reactions of chloromethylnaphthalene with pyrrolidine by Pd(0) complexes have been theoretically studied with the density functional theory. Our studies indicates that there are two possible reaction pathways from the two conformers. Both two pathways involves three major steps: the isomerization from η1-menaphthyl complex to η3-menaphthyl complex, the η3-menaphthyl rearrangement from η3-exo-menaphthyl complex to η3-endo-menaphthyl complex, and migratory insertion of amino-group to naphthyl. On the basis of the DFT calculations, we found that product of amination is ortho-aminated product kinetically and para-aminated product thermodynamically. It is noted that the tetrahydrofuran as solvent does not change the trends of the potential energy surface compared to that found in the gas phase.
