Monohapto-allyl Pd(ii) complexes with bidentate hybrid P,N ligands?

Abstract

Using a new oxazoline-phosphonite P,N ligand, we establish that in contrast with commonly held belief, bidentate ligands can lead to unusually stable η1-allyl complexes of Pd(II); CO insertion into their Pd–C σ-bond affords the corresponding 3-butenoyl complexes under mild conditions.
