title: Quantitative kinetic investigation on transmetalation of ArZnX in a Pd-catalysed oxidative coupling.
abstract: Transmetalation is the rate-limiting step. [R-Pd-Ar] was suggested to be the resting species from the kinetic studies. Quantitative measurement of the transmetalation of ArZnCl with [R-Pd-Ar] from a live Pd-catalysed oxidative coupling reaction was conducted and the corresponding activation enthalpy was determined as 12.3 kcal mol(-1).
