Changing selectivity in palladium-catalyzed reactions involving oxidation state IV. A new synthesis from iodobenzene and norbornene

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(91)86321-G

The formation of organopalladium intermediates in a catalytic reaction between iodobenzene and norbornene, involving a palladium(0)-(II)-(IV)-(II)-(0) sequence, can be directed towards preferential formation of product V or IV.
