Popis: The mechanism of the [PdL4]-catalyzed couplings between R−OTf (R = pentahalophenyl; L = PPh3, AsPh3) and Sn(CHCH2)Bu3 has been studied. The addition of LiCl favors the coupling for L = AsPh3 in THF but retards it for L = PPh3. Separate experiments show that for L = AsPh3, LiCl accelerates the otherwise very slow and rate-determining oxidative addition of the aryl triflate to [PdL4], leading to trans-[PdRClL2]. Therefore, the overall process is accelerated. For L = PPh3, the rate-determining step is the transmetalation. Complex trans-[PdRXL2], with X = Cl, is formed in the presence of LiCl, whereas an equilibrium mixture mainly involving species with X = TfO, L, or S (S = solvent) is established in the absence of LiCl. Since the transmetalation is slower for X = Cl than for the other complexes, the overall process is retarded by addition of LiCl. The transmetalation in complexes trans-[PdRXL2], with X = Cl, follows the SE2(cyclic) mechanism proposed in Part 1 (Casado, A. L.; Espinet, P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1...
