Palladium catalysis has achieved the status of an indispensable tool for both common and
state-of-theart organic synthesis. Among basic types of palladium-catalyzed transformations …

The Pd (0)-catalyzed vinylation of aryl halides was first reported over 30 years ago in
independent studies by Mizoroki and Heck. 1 The transformation that has come to be known …

The anions of PdCl2L2 and Pd (OAc) 2, precursors of palladium (0) used in cross-coupling
and Heck reactions, play a crucial role in these reactions. Tricoordinated anionic complexes …

This review will summarize the effect of the bite angle (Figure 1) of bidentate ligands on the
catalytic formation of carbon-to-carbon bonds. In the past decade, considerable progress …

Eighteen years ago in Angewandte Chemie John K. Stille reviewed a novel methodology,
which eventually became known by his name, for the coupling of organostannanes with …

Despite the widespread application of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling to forge carbon-
carbon bonds, the structure of the reactive intermediates underlying the key transmetalation …

The mechanism of the reaction of trans‐[ArPdX (PPh3) 2](Ar= p‐Z‐C6H4; Z= CN, F, H; X= I,
Br, Cl) with Ar′ B (OH) 2 (Ar′= p‐Z′‐C6H4; Z′= CN, H, OMe) has been established in …

It is established that new reactive anionic palladium (0) complexes species are formed in
which palladium (0) is ligated by either chloride ions: Pd (0)(PPh3) 2Cl−(when generated by …

Many reactions are nowadays catalyzed by a transition metal, which not only accelerates the
reactions but allows, via its ligand (s), a fine control of the chemo-, regio-, and …

The Heck reaction has been used extensively over the past 30 years for the elaboration of
alkenes. Although many examples have been published in the literature it is only in the last …
