Isotope Effect in Catalytic Hydroallylation of Norbornadiene by Allyl Formate

Resumo

Norbornadiene allylation by allyl formate in the presence of palladium catalytic systems has a number of features associated with different directions of β-hydride transfer in key intermediates, which can be carried out with the participation of allyl, norbornenyl, or formyl fragments. The value of the kinetic isotope effect and the nature of the limiting step in the reaction of hydroallylation of norbornadiene are determined using deuterated reagents.
