Organometallic Reactions Part 3: Reductive Elimination

The video tutorial explains reductive elimination as the reverse process of oxidative addition. It covers the mechanism, examples, and applications of reductive elimination in organometallic chemistry. The tutorial also discusses the reversibility of these reactions and their role in synthesis, highlighting the importance of oxidation states and coordination sites in facilitating these processes.

What factors influence the ability of a complex to undergo reductive elimination?

Discuss the relationship between oxidative addition and reductive elimination in terms of reversibility.
