title: Room-temperature palladium-catalyzed Negishi-type coupling: a combined experimental and theoretical study.
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).
