New tertiary phosphine palladium hydride complexes

Abstract

A new route to the palladium hydride complexes, trans-(R13P)22PdHCl, R1= cyclohexyl or isopropyl, is described involving use1 of a hydridoborohydride complex, trans-(R13P)2MH(BH4), M = Ni or Pd, as a reducing agent and a tertiary phosphine ligands exchange reaction.
