Palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis has emerged as a distinct approach to
construct polyfunctionalized arenes from readily available starting materials. This Review …

Conspectus Benzo-fused skeletons are ubiquitous in agrochemicals, medicines, natural
products, catalysts, and other organic function materials. The assembly of these skeletons in …

The Catellani reaction is known as a powerful strategy for the expeditious synthesis of highly
substituted arenes and benzo‐fused rings, which are usually difficult to access through …

Palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis has received enormous attention and
found numerous synthetic applications in the past two decades. Considering the critical …

All-carbon tetrasubstituted olefins have been found in numerous biologically important
compounds and organic materials. However, regio-and stereocontrolled construction of this …

Due to the dichotomy between reactivity and stereoselectivity, the synthesis of axially chiral
biaryls via enantioselective C–H arylation remains a daunting challenge. This full account …

The Catellani reaction is a palladium-catalyzed hydrocarbon-activated multicomponent
tandem reaction involving an aryl halide, an electrophilic coupling reagent and a terminating …

In the past few decades, processes that involve transition‐metal catalysis have represented
a major part of the synthetic chemist′ s toolbox. Recently, the interest has shifted from the …

We report a dual-tasked methylation that is based on cooperative palladium/norbornene
catalysis. Readily available (hetero) aryl halides (39 iodides and 4 bromides) and …

Tetrahydrobenzo [b] azepines (THBAs) are commonly found in many bioactive compounds;
however, the modular preparation of functionalized THBAs remains challenging to date …
