Acceleration of the reductive elimination step in Pd-catalysed allylic alkylation by allylic substrates
Abstract
Allylic electrophiles used in Pd-catalysed allysic alkylation greatly accelerate reductive elimination of η3-allyl(organo)palladium(II) complexes, via a PdIV intermediate, to give the coupling products and η3-allylpalladium(II) salts.
