title: Phosphine-alkene ligand-mediated alkyl-alkyl and alkyl-halide elimination processes from palladium(II).
abstract: N-Diphenylphosphino-7-aza-benzobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (2) behaves as a chelating phosphine-alkene ligand for Pd(0) and Pd(II), promoting direct alkyl-alkyl and indirect alkyl-halide reductive elimination reactions due to the stabilisation of the resulting bis(phosphine-alkene)Pd(0) complex.
