This process may be prevented by employing trans-spanning ligands to prevent open cis sites from becoming available, or by the use of neopentyl ligands.
Ye and Gellman studied the transition state of this reaction as conducted with fluoroalkanes on platinum (111) surfaces. Because the rate of this process is minimized, styrene polymerization proceeds most quickly in solvents with proper dielectric constant from four to four point two. This process may be prevented by employing trans-spanning ligands to prevent open cis sites from becoming available, or by the use of neopentyl ligands. This process accounts for the potential migration of double bonds in the Heck reaction and proceeds by the migration of a ligand hydrogen to the metal as the metal-ligand bond is pushed into a double bond. For 10 points, name this process in transition metal catalysis, wherein the departure of an H- ("H" minus) results in an alkene.
