An intramolecular, four-co-ordinate, σ-allyl transition state in the syn–anti exchange in a π-allylpalladium complex
Abstract
A novel instance of preferential syn–anti-isomerisation about the substituted carbon atom of an asymmetrically substituted π-allylpalladium chloride dimer is accounted for in terms of an intramolecular, four-co-ordinate σ-allyl transition state.
