Linear α-olefins, especially 1-hexene and 1-octene, are key components for the production
of LLDPE and the demand for 1-hexene and 1-octene increased enormously in recent …

In recent decades, the use of 1, 3-butadiene as a comparably cheap and abundant raw
material for new applications has attracted more and more interest, specifically in the …

A new biaryl monophosphine ligand (AlPhos, L1) allows for the room-temperature Pd-
catalyzed fluorination of a variety of activated (hetero) aryl triflates. Furthermore, aryl triflates …

In nature, prenylation and geranylation are two important metabolic processes for the
creation of hemiterpenoids and monoterpenoids under enzyme catalysis. Herein, we have …

Salts containing triarylphosphine radical cations 1•+ and 2•+ have been isolated and
characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and UV–vis absorption …

The palladium-catalyzed synthesis of dibenzofused six-membered phosphacycles via
carbon–phosphorus bond cleavage is developed. This method is compatible with a range of …

Telomerization is a versatile tool for synthesizing unsaturated ethers, amines and other
molecules starting from 1, 3‐dienes and respective nucleophiles. The homogeneously …

The Pd (II) complexes [Pd (Cp)(L) n] m [BF4] m were synthesized via the reaction of cationic
acetylacetonate complexes with cyclopentadiene in the presence of BF3∙ OEt2 (n= 2, m= 1 …

Herein, we report tunable asymmetric addition and telomerization of butadiene by
synergistic chiral primary amine/achiral palladium catalysis. A selection of different achiral …

The telomerization reaction is a fundamental transformation in industry for the synthesis of
highly substituted medium linear carbon chain products (8–12 carbon atoms) with …
