ConspectusDirect C–H bond activation is an important reaction in synthetic organic chemistry. This methodology has the potential to simplify reactions by avoiding use of prefunctionalized reagents. However, selectivity, especially site remains challenging. Sequential reactions, which different molecules or groups are combined ordered sequence, represent a powerful tool for construction complex single operation.We have discovered and developed that combines selective with sequential...
Catalytic methods are important tools for the synthesis of C−C bonds under mild and ambient conditions. Palladium chemistry predominates in this area because it offers opportunity to form several different types one pot. can also tolerate a variety functional groups. Among many investigations catalytic aryl−aryl couplings, most successful technique has been Suzuki reaction, which uses an arylboronic acid attack aryl−Pd bond. This Account reports our methodology, based on cooperative action...

Highly substituted oxygen heterocycles can be prepared in good yields at room temperature by reacting o-(1-alkynyl)-substituted arene carbonyl compounds with NBS, I(2), ICl, p-O(2)NC(6)H(4)SCl, or PhSeBr and various alcohols carbon-based nucleophiles. Naphthyl ketones iodides are readily the reaction of 2-(1-alkynyl)arene-carboxaldehydes I(2) simple olefins alkynes.
Mechanistic questions concerning palladium and norbornene catalyzed aryl-aryl coupling reactions are treated in this paper: how aryl halides react with the intermediate palladacycles, formed by interaction of two catalysts an halide, what is rational explanation "ortho effect" (caused ortho substituent starting halide), which leads to a second molecule halide rather than aryl-norbornyl coupling. Two possible pathways have been proposed, one involving oxidative addition palladacycle, other...

The same can also give dibenzopyrans by norbornene catalysis different termination, leading to C–O ring closure. In both cases process first leads five-membered palladacycle, which controls C–C coupling, then seven-membered oxapalladacycle, gives aldehydes or dibenzopyrans.
