We have developed an environmentally benign synthetic approach to nucleophilic
substitution reactions of alcohols that minimizes or eliminates the formation of byproducts …

Water is abundant in nature, non-toxic, non-flammable and renewable and could therefore
be safer and economical for the chemical industry wherever it is used as a solvent. This …

Allylic substitution of allyl alcohols in water as a suspension medium has been realized
using a combination of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium and a carboxylic acid such …

This chapter presents two major topics that pertain to nucleophilic attack on ligands of
organopalladium complexes: the Tsuji–Trost reaction and the Wacker oxidation reaction …

The present chapter introduces the basic fundaments of the palladium-catalyzed allylic
substitution reaction. After a brief introduction, the reaction is explored into the different steps …

A titanium‐catalyzed mono‐decyanation of geminal dinitriles is reported. The reaction
proceeds under mild conditions, tolerates numerous functional groups, and can be applied …

Enhancing atom economy of the metal‐catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) shifts
from the usual nucleophilic displacement of a leaving group to an addition of a …

Palladium catalysed allylic alkylation and amination reactions have been demonstrated to
