Reaction Palladium and Nickel Organometallic Reagents

Catalytic Reaction Palladium and Nickel Organometallic Reagents. 

Palladium and nickel based organometallic derivatives are remarkably represented in organic chemistry. Of course, the catalytic reactions present a major interest, particularly with palladium, a rather expensive metal. 

The interest in these reagents (and more particularly of palladium) arises from their compatibility with various functional groups. These reagents appear, therefore, as very chemoselective. 

The mechanisms of the typical reactions of palladium (and nickel) reagents imply the classical general pathways which are now well recognized in coordination chemistry oxidative addition, reductive elimination.
