Approach to the Determination of Kinetic Order of Catalyst Deactivation: Observation of Unusual Kinetics in the Suzuki – Miyaura Reaction

Using of a new approach to estimate the kinetic orders of catalyst transformations in the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction allowed us to establish that the catalytic reaction and catalyst deactivation are of nearly first orders, and this fact contradicts the current view on the nature of an active catalyst.
