General Principles and Characteristics of Cyclopalladation Reactions

The factors influencing the ease and mode of the reactions involving the direct intramolecular cyclopalladation of organic ligands at sp²- and sp³-carbon atoms are analysed and the principal requirements which must be met by the structure of the ligand, the characteristic features of the coordination intermediates, and the experimental reaction conditions are considered.
