Achieving site-selectivity in arene functionalization that is complementary to the site-
selectivity from electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions has been a long-standing quest …

Site‐selective ortho/ipso C− H difunctionalizations of aromatic compounds were designed to
afford polyfunctionalized arenes including challenging 1, 2, 3, 4‐tetrasubstituted ones (62 …

Herein we report a direct annulation between aryl iodides and epoxides through
palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis. An iso‐propyl ester substituted NBE …

Three-component cross-coupling cocatalyzed by palladium and norbornene is reported for
the synthesis of biaryl atropisomers. This domino reaction gave optimal yield and …

Palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis has emerged as a useful tool for
preparing poly substituted arenes; however, its substrate scope has been largely restricted …

The Catellani reaction, ie, the Pd/norbornene (NBE) catalysis, has been evolved into a
versatile approach to multisubstituted arenes via the ortho-functionalization/ipso-termination …
