A convenient one-pot synthesis of (tBu 3 P) 2 Pd(0) was successfully carried out by using various air-stable Pd(II) salts, such as Pd(cod)Cl 2 , Pd(nbd)Cl 2 , Pd(CH 3 CN) 2 Cl 2 , or Pd(PhCN) 2 Cl 2 , without the use of an external reducing agent. Using Pd(cod)Cl 2 as the precursor, large-scale synthesis of (tBu 3 P) 2 Pd(0) was accomplished in excellent yield and purity. Another protocol was also developed for L 2 Pd(0) complexes via an atom economical one-pot method by reacting in situ generated LPd(R-allyl)Cl complexes (L = tBu 3 P, Cy 3 P, (o-Tol) 3 P, CataXCium A,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
