Bimetallic palladium catalysis: direct observation of Pd(III)-Pd(III) intermediates. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • PhI(OAc)(2) is a common oxidant for Pd-catalyzed C-H bond functionalizations. Mechanistic hypotheses since the 1960s have suggested a Pd(II)/Pd(IV) mechanism. Here we present evidence for the relevance of bimetallic Pd(III) complexes to catalysis. A bimetallic Pd(III) acetate was isolated and can afford product by bimetallic reductive elimination.
