Reactions between eta(3)-allylpalladium chloride dimer, 1,8-di-azabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and 1-amino-2-fluoro-1-perfluoroethyl-3 -phenylprop-1-en-3-one or 1,12-diamino-2,11-difluoro-1,12-bis(perfluorobutyl)dodeca-1,11-diene- 3,10-dione simultaneously provided two types of Pd-II complexes. One is an anionic eta(3)-allylpalladium complex with protonated DBU as counterion while the other is a neutral eta(3)-allyl(beta-ketoiminato)palladium complex. A mechanism involving the amidine function of DBU in the formation of the two complexes is proposed. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003)
