Ethene and palladium metal are also formed, and are attributed to decomposition of PdIEt(bpy) via beta-elimination. Similar results are obtained with n-propyl iodide, although a palladium(IV) intermediate was not detected, but CH2=CHCH2X (X = Br, I) and PhCH=CHCH2Br give isolable complexes fac-PdXMe2(CH2CH=CHR)(L2) (R = H, Ph; L2 = bpy, phen). The propenyl complexes decompose at ambient temperature to form ethane, a trace of PdXMe(L2), and mixtures of [Pd(eta3-C3H5)(L2)]X and [Pd(eta3-C3H5)(L2)][Pd(eta3-C3H5)X2]; for fac-PdBrMe2(CH2CH=CH2)(bpy) the major palladium(II) product is [Pd(eta3-C3H5)(bpy)]Br. 1990 published Journal of Organometallic Chemistry 390 3 399-407 10.1016/0022-328X(90)85108-B TRUE 0022-328X http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0022-328X(90)85108-B 3915 4 2954 1 application/pdf en staffonly cc_utas
