Insights into the mechanism of the Negishi reaction: ZnRX versus ZnR2 reagents
The observation that their transmetalations with trans-[PdRfCl(PPh3)(2)] (Rf = fluoroaryl) give stereoselectively a different isomer of [PdRfMe(PPh3)(2)] suggests that Negishi reactions with ZnRX or ZnR2 could show very different evolutions.
