Insertion of norbornene into aryl–palladium(II) bonds: mechanistic aspects of the subsequent C–H activation

Abstract
The insertion of norbornene into the Pd–C bond of the cationic phenylpalladium(II) complex [PdPh(pmdien)]OTf (2, pmdien =N,N,N′,N′,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine, OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate) yields a 1 : 1 enantiomeric mixture of an ortho 2-exo-norbornyl-substituted phenylpalladium(II) compound via selective, intramolecular C–H activation of the phenyl ring.
