The formation and decomposition of metal alkyl species are ubiquitous steps in a multitude of organic reactions that are mediated by the later transition metals, such as those belonging to groups 8-10. While the mechanistic steps involved in the decomposition of the later transition-metal dialkyl compounds are now fairly well-defined, surprisingly little appears to be known about the decomposition pathways for the corresponding monoalkyl complexes, particularly those that cannot undergo a ..beta..-hydrogen abstraction reaction. These latter compounds are generally believed to decompose predominantly through radical pathways following homolysis of the M-C bond. Herein, they report the diverse radical and nonradical pathways that are involved in the decomposition of monoalkylpalladium(II) complexes that lack accessible ..beta..-hydrogens.
