The formation of the cyclooctatetraene (COT) complex Pd(dppf)(COT) (dppf = 1,1{prime}-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) from Pd(dppf)X{sub 2} (X = Cl, Sr, I) and dilithium cyclooctatetraenide in situ affords an entry into the cross-coupling chemistry of this system. The reaction of Pd(dppf)(COT) with an alkenyl bromide or iodide results in the formation of the appropriate ({eta}{sup 1}-alkenyl)palladium halide via an oxidative addition of a {eta}{sup 2}-coordinated alkene species. The full characterization of the intermediate Pd(dppf)(CH{double bond}CHC{sub 6}H{sub 4}OCHY{sub 3})Br (9) and the norbornene insertion product Pd(dppf)(C{sub 7}H{sub 10}CH{double bond}CHC{sub 6}H{sub 4}OCH{sub 3}) (15) is reported. A set of putative intermediates for the coupling of alkenyl and benzyl moieties by palladium complexes is demonstrated spectroscopically. The cross-coupling cycle for the case of alkenyl-aryl coupling is delineated by an analysis of cross-coupling reactions employing {sup 13}C-labeled catalysts and unlabeled substrates (and vice versa). Platinum analogues of all the intermediates in this cross-coupling catalytic cycle have been observed.
