Evidence of a Wheland Intermediate in Carboxylate-Assisted C(<i>sp</i><sup>2</sup>)−H Activation by Pd(IV) Active Catalyst Species Studied via DFT Calculations
Evidence of a Wheland intermediate in carboxylate-assisted C−H activation was found using DFT calculations when the Pd(IV) catalyst species was postulated as the active catalyst species (ACS). In order to delineate the reaction mechanism of Pd-catalyzed bisarylation of 3-alkylbenzofuran, five hypoth...
