Abstract

An air-stable, bulky electron-accepting phosphine ligand (phosphabarrelene) allows the easy reduction of a Pd II precursor to a Pd 0 complex, highly active in room-temperature Negishi-type cross-coupling. DFT calculations show that the use of the electron-accepting ligand favors both transmetalation (TM) and reductive-elimination (RE) processes (see scheme; OA=oxidative addition).
