Oxidative addition of methanol

The second mechanism involves the oxidative addition of methanol to the divalent acylpalladium complex 14 (19, Figure 12.14). This reaction has the only advantage that the new hydride initiator is formed in one step, but apart from this it is an unlikely reaction. Oxidative addition of alcohols is only known for electron-rich zerovalent palladium complexes [46],... 

An HP IR study of the platinum catalysed carbonylation of methanol to methyl formate, revealed that the catalyst precursor, ds-[Pt(PEt3)2Cl2] is converted into cis-[Pt(PEt3)2(CO)2] along with a cluster species, [Pt3(PEt3)3(CO) ] (n = 3 or 4) [95]. A mechanism involving oxidative addition of methanol to Pt(0) followed by CO insertion into the Pt-OMe bond was suggested. 

The oxidative addition of methanol according to bquation (11) has not been observed.so far. 

The most crucial step is the oxidative addition of methanol to a cobalt center by scission of the carbon--oxygcn bond. This is a process for which there is no... 

Oxidative addition of nucleophiles such as alcohols or amines to (ri -diene)iron complexes can be achieved in the presence of various oxidizing agents. Most frequently this process is exploited in an intramolecular version in form of an oxidative cyclization. Oxidative addition of methanol to (t -cyclohexa-l,3-diene)iron in the presence of...
