T. Hosokawa et al., ELIMINATION OF BETA-PALLADIUM HYDROXIDE IN THE PD(II)-CATALYZED REACTION OF METHYL (ALPHA-HYDROXYMETHYL)ACRYLATE WITH ALCOHOLS, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 470(1-2), 1994, pp. 253-255
Exclusive elimination of beta-Pd-OH takes place in the oxypalladation
intermediate derived from methyl (a-hydroxymethyl)acrylate and alcohol
s with PdCl2 catalyst, and no beta-Pd-H elimination occurs.
