Abstract

A mechanism for the palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction consistent with the experimental data is shown in Scheme I; it is typical of other reactions involving allylic substrates and transmetalation from tin. Thus, oxidative addition of the allyl acetate to palladium (0) produces an v3-allylpalladium acetate. Exchange of acetate for chloride facilitates the transmetalation from tin to palladium, and reductive elimination produces the coupling ...
