The Impact of Palladium(II) Reduction Pathways on the Structure and Activity of Palladium(0) Catalysts

Abstract

Two roads diverged: The mechanism of in situ PdII catalyst activation to generate an active {LnPd0} catalyst from an air-stable PdII precursor was examined using the standard conditions of a Miyaura borylation reaction. Two pathways for catalyst activation exist under these conditions, producing two structurally and chemically distinct {LnPd0} complexes (see scheme).
