Abstract

On the basis of fundamental studies on oxidative addition of carboxylic anhydrides to zerovalent palladium complexes to yield acyl (carboxylato) bis (tertiary phosphine) palladium (II) complexes and their reactions with organoboronic acids to yield ketones, a novel catalytic process has been developed. This converts carboxylic anhydrides and organoboron compounds into ketones catalyzed by palladium complexes under mild ...
