ELECTROPHILIC SUBSTITUTION OF STRUCTURALLY RIGID n1-ALLYLPALLADIUM COMPLEXES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1985.1839

h¹-Allyl(aryl)palladium complexes react with some electrophiles to result in the selective Pd-allyl bond cleavage with 1,3-transposition, while the corresponding η³-allyl(aryl)palladiums and the electrophiles give rise to the selective Pd-Ar bond cleavage.The η¹-allyl complexes also react with CCl4 and CHCl3 under very mild conditions to give good yields of CH2=CHCHR(CR'Cl2) (R=H, Me; R'=Cl, H).
