Redox couple involving NOx in aerobic Pd-catalyzed oxidation of sp3-C-H bonds: Direct Evidence for Pd-NO3-/NO2- interactions involved in oxidation and reductive elimination

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jacs.6b10853

NaNO₃ is used in oxidative Pd-catalyzed processes as a complementary co-catalyst to common oxidants, e.g., Cu^II salts, in C-H bond activation and Wacker oxidation processes. NaNO₃ and NaNO₂ (with air or O_2<
