The Pd(0)-mediated umpolung reaction of an alkyne to achieve <i>trans</i>-difunctionalization is a potential synthetic methodology, but its insightful activation mechanism of Pd(0)-alkyne interaction has yet to be established. Here, a Pd(0)-π-Lewis base activation mode is proposed and investigated by combining theoretical and experimental studies. In this activation mode, the Pd(0) coordinates to the alkyne group and enhances its nucleophilicity through π-back-donation, facilitating the nucleoph ...[more]
