biostudies-literatureUnknown12(40)Xiang XWe have performed a series of theoretical calculations for palladium-catalyzed β-X elimination reactions. The DFT calculation combined with energy decomposition analysis shows the determining factors of reactivity. Such as, the elemental composition, the structure of different functional groups and the stronger steric repulsions contribution.RSC advances26116-26122https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9477014biostudies-literatureA theoretical study based on DFT calculations on the different influence of functional groups on the C-H activation process <i>via</i> Pd-catalysed β-X elimination.PMC9477014Zhao ZXZhang HXXiang XfalseA theoretical study based on DFT calculations on the different influence of functional groups on the C-H activation process <i>via</i> Pd-catalysed β-X elimination.We have performed a series of theoretical calculations for palladium-catalyzed β-X elimination reactions.
