Questions and Answers

What is required for the b-hydride elimination step in Hech coupling catalysis?

  • palladium and hydride must be coplanar (correct)
  • a palladium catalyst without hydride
  • the addition of a small R group
  • a trans-elimination process

Why does the R group tend to eclipse the smallest group on the adjacent carbon during elimination?

  • due to electronic reasons
  • to facilitate syn addition
  • to prevent the formation of a cis double bond
  • due to steric reasons (correct)

Study Notes

Hech Coupling Catalysis

  • In the β-hydride elimination step, the palladium and hydride must be coplanar for the reaction to occur, due to the syn elimination process.
  • Steric reasons influence the elimination process, causing the R group to tend to eclipse the smallest group on the adjacent carbon.
  • As a result, the elimination reaction primarily forms a trans double bond in the product.
