Retardation of beta-hydrogen elimination in PNP Pincer complexes of Pd Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A series of new alkyl and alkoxide (FPNP)Pd complexes have been synthesized. The alkyls and alkoxides containing -hydrogens display remarkable thermal stability. Thermal decomposition of (FPNP)PdOEt is very slow in pure C6D6 but is accelerated by the addition of EtOH co-solvent. It is proposed that the -hydrogen elimination from (FPNP)Pd-OCH2R occurs via dissociation of the alkoxide anion. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
