Abstract

A redox neutral rearrangement of an allene to a 1,3-diene by means of a unique palladium hydride complex is reported. The palladium hydride complex is generated from a simple Pd0 source and boric acid [B(OH)3], which is typically identified as a waste by-product of the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. A mechanism for this transformation using this novel palladium hydride complex is presented; using a direct sample loop and flow injection ESI-HRMS analysis we have detected and identified key π-allylpalladium complexes that support the addition of the palladium hydride complex to the allene.
