Reactions of trans- and cis-PdR2L2 (R = Me, Et, Pr, and Bu; L = tertiary phosphine ligands) with carbon monoxide in solutions were found to give strikingly different products depending on the configurations of the dialkylpalladium complexes. The results can be explained reasonably by assuming reactions proceeding by alkyl migration mechanisms.
