REACTION OF ALLYLIC ARSENITES WITH LOW VALENT TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)98953-8

Three reactions were carried out to study the reactions of triallyl arsenite with zero-valent palladium and platinum complexes: (i) the reaction of triallyl arsenite with nucleophiles using Pd(PPh3)4 as catalyst; (ii) the preparation of the ?-allylplatinum complex from triallyl arsenite and (iii) the reaction of deuterium-labelled triallyl arsenite with Pd(PPh3)4.The mechanisms of the above reactions are briefly discussed.
