The field of organometallic chemistry has emerged over the last
twenty-five years or so to become one of the most important areas
of chemistry, and there are no signs of abatement in the intense
current interest in the subject, particularly in terms of its
proven and potential application in catalytic reactions involving
hydrocarbons. The development of the organometallic/ catalysis area
has resulted in no small way from many contributions from
researchers investigating palladium systems. Even to the
well-initiated, there seems a bewildering and diverse variety of
organic reactions that are promoted by palladium(II) salts and
complexes. Such homogeneous reactions include oxidative and
nonoxidative coupling of substrates such as olefins, dienes,
acetylenes, and aromatics; and various isomerization,
disproportionation, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, car bonylation
and decarbonylation reactions, as well as reactions involving
formation of bonds between carbon and halogen, nitrogen, sulfur,
and silicon. The books by Peter M. Maitlis - The Organic Chemistry
of Palladium, Volumes I, II, Academic Press, 1971 - serve to
classify and identify the wide variety of reactions, and access to
the vast literature is available through these volumes and more
recent reviews, including those of J. Tsuji [Accounts Chem. Res. ,
6, 8 (1973); Adv. in Organometal. , 17, 141 (1979)], R. F. Heck
[Adv. in Catat. , 26, 323 (1977)], and ones by Henry [Accounts
Chem. Res. , 6, 16 (1973); Adv. in Organometal. , 13, 363 (1975)].
