Cyclopropanes via nucleophilic attack at the central carbon of (π-allyl)palladium complexes
Abstract
A variety of carboanions (pKa of protonated carbanion 20) combine with (π-allyl)palladium complexes in the presence of N, N, N′, N′, tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA)via a new reaction mode, giving functionalized cyclopropanes.
