The synthesis of the phosphine-arenesulfonate Pd(II) fluoride complex (PO-OMe)PdF(lut) (2, PO-OMe = P(2-OMe-Ph)2(2-SO3-5-Me-Ph), lut = 2,6-lutidine) and its reactions with electron-deficient olefi
An unusually broad series of discrete alkene insertion reactions has provided the opportunity to examine the mechanism(s) of this fundamental carbon–heteroatom bond-forming process. Ethylene, electron

Treatment of OsHCl(PPh3)3 with allenes CH2CCHR at room temperature in benzene produced the vinyl complexes OsCl(C(CH3)CHR)(CH2CCHR)(PPh3)2, instead of η3-allyl complexes as normally observed. DFT
