Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have been well-established as
indispensable tools in modern organic synthesis. One of the major research goals in cross …

The methyl group is one of the most commonly occurring carbon fragments in small‐
molecule drugs. This simplest alkyl fragment appears in more than 67% of the top‐selling …

Tosylhydrazones are useful synthetic intermediates that have been used in organic
chemistry for almost 60 years. The recent discovery of a palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling …

A palladium-catalyzed ortho-C− H amidation of anilides by N-nosyloxycarbamates was
developed for the synthesis of 2-aminoanilines. This reaction can be carried out under …

Conditions for the rapid hydrolysis of chloroform to carbon monoxide (CO) using
heterogeneous CsOH· H2O are described. CO and 13CO can be generated cleanly and …

Potassium tert-butoxide mediated intramolecular cyclization of aryl ethers, amines, and
amides was efficiently performed under microwave irradiation to provide the corresponding …

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between benzyl, aryl, or allyl bromides and
conjugated ene–yne–ketones lead to the formation of 2-alkenyl-substituted furans. This …

The carbonylation of carbenes through catalytic cycles is highly desirable due to the
importance of ketene-mediated reactions in organic synthesis. In this investigation, a highly …

Pd‐catalyzed reactions of diazo compounds result in unique transformations that are distinct
from those of traditional processes catalyzed by RhII or CuI catalysts. Pd carbene migratory …

In this critical review we summarise the currently available 'C1 polymerisation'techniques as
valuable alternatives for 'C2 polymerisation'in the preparation of saturated main-chain …
