Quantitative formation of the intermediate of alkene insertion in the copolymerization of p-methylstyrene and carbon monoxide catalyzed by [(PrⁱDAB)Pd(Me)(NCMe)]⁺BAr₄^–

Abstract

The intermediate after the first CO and p-methylstyrene insertion in the chain growth process of the copolymerization of these monomers has been quantitatively obtained from [(PrⁱDAB)Pd(Me)(NCMe)]⁺[{3,5-(CF₃)₂C₆H₃}₄B]^– in CHCl₃ at 20 °C.
