Carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reductive elimination from palladium(IV) complexes

Abstract

This work provides a comprehensive review (1986-2010) of the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of palladium(IV) complexes that undergo carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reductive elimination reactions. In cases where mechanistic information is available, the molecular pathway for C-X bond formation is described in detail. Examples of catalytic transformations that may involve this mechanistic manifold are also presented. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
