Abstract

Monomeric, three-coordinate arylpalladium (II) halide complexes undergo reductive elimination of aryl halide to form free haloarene and Pd (0). Reductive elimination of aryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides were observed upon the addition of P (t-Bu) 3 to Pd [P (t- Bu) 3](Ar)(X)(X= Cl, Br, I). Conditions to observe the equilibrium between reductive elimination and oxidative addition were established with five haloarenes. Reductive ...
