A characterful carbene: The high electrophilicity of a genuine palladium alkoxycarbene, obtained by transmetalation, is evident in its reactivity. Nucleophilic attack on two electrophilic centers (red) is observed. Alkyl abstraction and addition to the carbene carbon by different nucleophiles occur. This palladium(II) alkoxycarbene also undergoes comproportionation with palladium(0) to give an unprecedented palladium(I) dimeric carbene (see scheme).
