Divergent reactivity of phosphapalladacycles toward E-H (E = N, P, As) bonds by Tay, Wee Shan, Li, Yongxin, Pullarkat, Sumod A., Leung, Pak-Hing

“…In the latter, HAsPh2 afforded the preligands of monomeric, dimeric, bidentate, and tridentate complexes of Pd in excellent yields of 95-98% within 30 min at room temperature. Key reaction steps for the intramolecular insertion of As-H into the Pd-C bond were outlined, and the effects of regioisomerism on the ortho-protonation pathway were evaluated.…”
