This review provides an in-depth analysis of recent advances and strategies employed in
the Pd-catalysed asymmetric allylic alkylation (Pd-AAA) of nucleophilic prochiral …

Carbon dioxide is inexpensive and abundant, and its prevalence as waste makes it
attractive as a sustainable chemical feedstock. Although there are examples of …

Stereoselective carbon-carbon bond formation via palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic
alkylation is a crucial strategy to access chiral natural products and active pharmaceutical …

We have developed an efficient gold-catalyzed C–O cross-coupling reaction of (hetero) aryl
iodides with primary and secondary alcohols via an AuI–AuIII catalytic cycle. This protocol …

Ring walking is an important mechanistic phenomenon leveraged in many catalytic CC
bond forming reactions. However, ring walking has been scarcely studied under Buchwald …

We report a direct tandem C–O/C–H activation approach to C–C bond formation using
palladium catalysis. This reaction combines C–O oxidative addition at enol pivalates with …

Miniaturised high-throughput experimentation (HTE) is widely employed in industrial and
academic laboratories for rapid reaction optimisation using material-limited, multifactorial …

We report a high throughput evaluation of the Mizoroki–Heck reaction of diverse olefin
coupling partners. Comparison of different ligands revealed the 1, 5-diaza-3, 7 …

Metal-catalysed asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions have played a pivotal role in the
construction of chiral compounds. When applied to the synthesis of butenolides, a common …

A convenient one-pot synthesis of (t Bu3P) 2Pd (0) was successfully carried out by using
various air-stable Pd (II) salts, such as Pd (cod) Cl2, Pd (nbd) Cl2, Pd (CH3CN) 2Cl2, or Pd …
