title: Preparation and C-X reductive elimination reactivity of monoaryl Pd(IV)-X complexes in water (X = OH, OH2, Cl, Br).
abstract: Monohydrocarbyl palladium(IV) complexes bearing OH, OH(2), Br, and Cl ligands at the metal and supported by facially chelating 1-hydroxy-1,1-bis(2-pyridyl)methoxide were readily prepared in water at 0 °C. These complexes reductively eliminate Ar-X (X = OH, Br, Cl) in water at room temperature in high yield, and the corresponding first-order rate constants k(OH), k(Cl), and k(Br) are on the same order of magnitude.
