Abstract
Allylpalladium(II) compounds react readily in benzene with free phenyl and trityl radicals, generated from the thermal decomposition of phenylazotriph enylmethane, and with free cyclohexyl radicals, generated from the photolys is of (cyclohexyl)(pyridine)cobaloxime; the reactions appear to involve ini tial attack of the radicals at palladium, followed by secondary processes w hich convert the coordinated allyl ligands preferentially to terminal rathe r than internal alkenes.
