Synthesis, stereochemistry, mechanisms of formation, and X-ray crystal structures of enantiomerically pure π-allylpalladium compounds formed via palladium-promoted ring opening of bicyclic alkenes
Abstract
The synthesis, stereochemistry, mechanisms of formation, and X-ray crystal structures of enantiomerically pure π-allylpalladium compounds (1)–(3) prepared by palladium hydride addition to (1R)-(+)-α-pinene, (1S)-(–)-α- or -β-pinene, and (1S)-(+)-2- or -3-carene respectively are presented.
