70. According to reductive elimination reaction mechanism cis-complex can give the product but
trans-complex is not suitable for reaction and does not give reductive elimination product. Since,
ligand given in option (d) forms a trans-complex with Pd(II) due to the presence of flexible
methylene (–CH2–) groups. Therefore, reductive elimination not occured.
