Iw. Davies et al., Experimental and theoretical studies on the oxidative addition of palladium(0) to beta-chlorovinamidinium salts, TETRAHEDRON, 57(24), 2001, pp. 5061-5066
Boronic acids, esters and borinic anhydrides are partners in Suzuki-Miyaura
cross-coupling reactions with a variety of beta -chlorovinamidinium salts
to give the desired beta -arylvinamidinium salts in up to 88% yield. Reduct
ion is a competing reaction pathway. DFT calculations on the intermediate p
alladium complex reveal that the Pd-C interaction is predominantly of a-sym
metry and the metal based LUMO is mainly d(z2) in character. (C) 2001 Elsev
