Over the past few years, we have tackled the synthesis of interesting monofluorinated
organic molecules, such as: dihydronaphthalene derivatives, β-fluoro sulfones and related …

Catalytic anti-Markovnikov oxidation of alkene feedstocks could simplify synthetic routes to
many important molecules and solve a long-standing challenge in chemistry. Here we report …

Catalytic anti-Markovnikov (AM) oxidation of terminal alkenes can provide terminally
oxyfunctionalized organic compounds. This short review mainly summarizes our recent …

The two donor modules of an annelated pyridyl–mesoionic carbene ligand (aPmic) have
different σ-and π-bonding characteristics leading to its electronic asymmetry. A Pd (II) …

Catalytic carbonylation of transition metals is widely used as an effective means to
synthesize carbonyl-containing compounds. In this article, we introduce a method for the …

Wacker-type reactions of terminal alkenes mainly lead to methyl ketones rather than
aldehydes. The selective formation of aldehydes usually requires alkenes containing a …

A hypervalent iodine (III)-mediated ring-contractive fluorination reaction of 2-
alkylidenecyclobutanol derivatives is presented. The protocol allows the facile synthesis of β …

A series of functionalized magnetic nanoparticles immobilizing palladium acetate with
different ligands, including β-diketimine, Schiff base and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane …

The development of an anti‐Markovnikov Wacker‐type oxidation for simple aliphatic alkenes
is a significant challenge. Herein, a variety of aldehydes can be selectively obtained from …

Terminal acetals were selectively synthesized from various unbiased aliphatic terminal
alkenes and 1, 2-, 1, 3-, or 1, 4-diols using a PdCl2 (MeCN) 2/CuCl catalyst system in the …
