Intramolecular hydride transfer in a dimer between Pd atoms and reductive elimination of H and a benzyl moiety to give PhCH2CH2C6F5 (3) is the main decomposition pathway for the hydrido species generated from the η3-benzylpalladium derivative [Pd2(μ-Br)2(η3-CHPhCH2C 6F5)2] (1). The commonly accepted decomposition of the palladium hydride to give Pd(0) and HX, followed by acid attack on 1 to produce the alkane, is ruled out in this case.
