A Pd-catalyzed synthesis of 3, 4, 5-trisubstituted cyclopentenes from diazabicyclic olefins
and o-iodobenzoates has been developed. The hitherto unknown cascade process involves …

A highly selective cascade reaction that allows the direct transformation of dienallenes to
spirocyclobutenes (spiro [3.4] octenes) as single diastereoisomers has been developed. The …

A palladium-catalysed intramolecular allylic (hetero) arylation strategy for the synthesis of
fused cyclopentenes incorporated with all-carbon quaternary and spiro centres is described …

A palladium-promoted Mizoroki–Heck type reaction employing a directing-group strategy to
efficiently produce the coupled vinyl cyclopentenes with excellent regio-and stereoselectivity …

We describe the palladium-catalyzed Nazarov-type cyclization of easily accessible (hetero)
arylallyl acetates to pentannulated (hetero) arenes. This method provides ready access to …

Regioconvergent synthesis of the key lactone 1 from an equimolar mixture of the two olefins
4 and 5 was achieved by unique Pd (II) chemistry. The synthetic versatility of lactone 1 has …

1, 6-Enynes have recently stimulated enormous attention toward paving the way to unique
cascade cyclizations offering complex cyclic motifs from linear substrates. We describe …

Palladium catalysts with bulky biaryl phosphine ligands allow homopropargyl-substituted
dicarbonyl compounds to undergo intramolecular addition via a rare 5-endo-dig pathway. C …

Divergence in the PBu3-catalyzed [3+ 2] annulation of phenacylmalononitriles with
allenoates, controlled by the γ-substitution on allenoates, offers a tunable synthesis of …

An efficient and highly regioselective route to synthesize polysubstituted 1, 3, 4-alkatrien-2-yl
cyclopropane derivatives via Pd (0)-catalyzed highly regioselective coupling cyclization of …
