Abstract

The B-hydride elimination is a key step in many fundamental organometallic reactions that involve interconversion of alkyl and olefin ligands.'The commonly accepted, 4-electron-4- center mechanism for this reaction2 is strongly supported by the observation of agostic interactions in many alkylmetal and allylmetal c~ mplexes.~ With (q3-al1yl) palladium complexes? the elimination reaction is of special interest because it produces conjugated ...
