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

The selective and efficient C–H methylation of sp2 and sp3 carbon centres has become a
powerful transformation in the synthetic toolbox. Due to the potential for profound changes to …

We report diverse C–N cross-coupling reactions of aryl thianthrenium salts that are formed
site-selectively by direct C–H functionalization. The scope of N-nucleophiles ranges from …

Transition-metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions have been considered as a
powerful tool to convert two electrophiles into value-added products. Numerous related …

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 …

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 field of medicinal chemistry, the precise installation of a trideuteromethyl group is
gaining ever‐increasing attention. Site‐selective incorporation of the deuterated “magic …

Oxygen-substituted arenes widely exist in biologically important molecules and can serve as
versatile handles to install other functional groups. However, direct and site-selective …

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 …
