Abstract
Aryl–Pd(II) chlorides stabilized by dialkylterphenyl phosphine ligands undergo a thermal isomerization process, leading to the formation of allyl–Pd(II)-chloride species. The transformation involves the intramolecular functionalization of a C–H bond of the terphenyl group mediated by the Pd(II) center.
