T. Mandai et al., HIGHLY-ACTIVE PD(0) CATALYST FROM PD(OAC)2-BU3P COMBINATION IN UNTAPPED 1 1 RATIO - PREPARATION, REACTIVITY, AND P-31-NMR/, Tetrahedron letters, 34(15), 1993, pp. 2513-2516
Reaction of Pd(OAc)2 with Bu3P (1:1) in benzene or THF afforded extrao
rdinarily active zerovalent palladium species as a pale yellow solutio
n, the nature of which has been discussed on the basis of the signific
ant difference in catalytic reactivity and (P{H}-NMR)-P-31-H-1 feature
s between such a catalyst and one prepared from Pd2(dba)3 and excess B
u3P.
