The Mechanism of Formation of Pi-Allyl Palladium-Chloride Complexes From Olefins

Abstract

dc:description

The reaction of ${\rm PdCl}\sb2$ with olefins bearing allylic hydrogens to give π-allyl palladium complexes is accepted to be a two-step process. Previous workers reported isolation of the presumed π-olefin complex intermediates and their conversion to π-allyl complexes under typical reaction conditions. Mechanistic proposals for the H removal step include palladium insertion into the allylic C-H bond, allylic proton abstraction by chloride ligand, and proton abstraction by an external base, none of which are supported by substantial evidence.
