Abstract
A series of heteroleptic diarylpalladium compounds, containing both a naphthyl (1-C10H6CH2NMe2-2 or 1-C10H5CH2NMe2-2-Me-3) and a phenyl (1-C6H4CH2NMe2-2 or 1-C6H3CH2NMe2-2-Me-x, x = 3, 5, 6) monoanionic C,N-bidentate ligand, was reacted with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) to give selective oxygen insertion into one of the C-Pd bonds. It was found that the order
