Cyclometalation refers to the transition metal-mediated activation of a CR bond to form a
metallacycle comprising a new metal-carbon σ bond (Scheme 1). 1, 2 Typically, the reaction …

The present review refers to catalytic methods to arylate arene or heteroarene compounds.
The resulting compounds are ubiquitous in biology and in pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals …

A catalyst for the intramolecular direct arylation of a broad range of simple and heterocyclic
arenes with aryl iodides, bromides, and chlorides has been developed. These reactions …

A novel method for the synthesis of oxindoles is described. In the presence of catalytic
palladium acetate and 2-(di-tert-butylphosphino) biphenyl, α-chloroacetanilides are …

An efficient catalytic system has been developed for the synthesis of benzocyclobutenes by
C− H activation of methyl groups. The optimal conditions employed a combination of Pd …

A novel palladium migration methodology for the synthesis of complex fused polycycles has
been developed. This process involves 1, 4-palladium alkyl to aryl migrations via through …

A novel palladium migration/arylation methodology for the synthesis of complex fused
polycycles has been developed, in which one or more sequential Pd-catalyzed …

Mechanistic questions concerning palladium and norbornene catalyzed aryl–aryl coupling
reactions are treated in this paper: how aryl halides react with the intermediate …

The reaction of LiB (C6F5) 4 with HCl in diethyl ether afforded the new oxonium acid [H
(OEt2) 2]+[B (C6F5) 4]-(1) as a colorless crystalline solid, which was characterized by NMR …

Biphenylylalkenes containing an ortho substituent in one ring and a different ortho-, meta-,
or para-substituent in the other are prepared in satisfactory yield from an ortho-substituted …
