In methanol, the complexation reaction of palladium(II) with pentadentate N
4S ligand having flexible pyrazolyl arms, appears to proceed through two pa
rallel paths, one of which is thermodynamically controlled, generating prod
uct 1, while the other is kinetically driven to obtain product 2 in compara
ble yields. Structural anomeric effect plays a crucial role in the formatio
n of 2.
