Abstract
Abstract “Pd °(PPh 3 ) 2 ” generated by electroreduction of Pd II (PPh 3 ) 2 Cl 2 in the presence of carbon monoxide exists mainly in the form of low-ligated zerovalent palladium complex Pd °(PPh 3 ) 2 CO. On the basis of the experimental results, a mechanism is proposed for its formation. The oxidative addition of 4-iodoanisole to zerovalent palladium centre to afford a cyclic palladium(II) centre seems to be very efficient, but the 4-anisaldehyde formation undergoes severe competition with the two-electron reduction yielding anisole.
