Preparing and Tuning the Reactivity of Palladium Carbenes and an Unusual Catalytic Isomerization of Diphenylcyclopropanes

The preparation of palladium carbene intermediates from diphenylketene is proposed. Experiments to trap these intermediates with alkenes have been conducted and optimized, with cyclopropanes being prepared in up to 69% yield. This methodology has shown to be compatible with olefins, ethers, esters,...
