The review considers methods of synthesis of cyclo-The review considers methods of synthesis of cyclopalladated compounds of the PC-and PCP-type including intra-palladated compounds of the PC-and PCP-type including intramolecular activation of the C molecular activation of the C7 7H bonds in the P-donor ligands, H bonds in the P-donor ligands, oxidative addition of preliminarily functionalised substrates to oxidative addition of preliminarily functionalised substrates to palladium( palladium(0 0), transmetallation of lithiated compounds, chelation), transmetallation of lithiated compounds, chelation of phosphine-substituted phosphorus ylides, and some non-stand-of phosphine-substituted phosphorus ylides, and some non-standard processes resulting in a new ligand formation on a metal ard processes resulting in a new ligand formation on a metal template. Particular attention has been given to the structural template. Particular attention has been given to the structural factors and experimental conditions that determine the feasibility factors and experimental conditions that determine the feasibility of direct cyclopalladation of mono-and bidentate phosphines, of direct cyclopalladation of mono-and bidentate phosphines, phosphites and phosphinites. The bibliography includes 384 phosphites and phosphinites. The bibliography includes 384 references. references.
