Investigating the Dearomative Rearrangement of Biaryl Phosphine-Ligated Pd(II) Complexes
摘要:
A series of monoligated L.Pd-II(Ar)X complexes (L = dialkyl biaryl phosphine) have been prepared and studied in an effort to better understand an unusual dearomative rearrangement previously documented in these systems. Experimental and theoretical evidence suggest a concerted process involving the unprecedented Pd-II-mediated insertion of an aryl group into an unactivated arene.
