Pd–H from Pd/C and triethylamine: Implications in palladium catalysed reactions involving amines

The palladium hydride–iminium complex generated from Pd/C and triethylamine catalyses the isomerisation of allylic alcohols into carbonyl compounds, and Pd/C catalyses the conjugate reduction of activated double bonds using triethylamine as the source of the two newly incorporated hydrogen atoms via the same complex.
