Pd-catalyzed amination reaction of aryl halides has attracted much attention in recent years.
This review underscores selected important recent developments in the catalysis of one of …

Various catalysts in homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis deploy unconventional
reaction pathways by lowering the activation energy (AE) barrier, controlling the selectivity …

The C–N cross-coupling chemistry intensely developed since the late 1990s has supplied
synthesists with an overwhelming number of methods to effectively combine carbon and …

In less than 20 years N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become well-established
ancillary ligands for the preparation of transition metal-based catalysts. This is mainly due to …

A new N-heterocyclic ligand IPr* OMe [N, N′-bis (2, 6-bis (diphenylmethyl)-4-
methoxyphenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene] has been synthesized and compared with its earlier …

Over the past two decades, considerable attention has been given to the development of
new ligands for the palladium‐catalyzed arylation of amines and related NH‐containing …

Despite widespread use of complexes of the type Pd (L)(η3-allyl) Cl as precatalysts for cross-
coupling, the chemistry of related PdI dimers of the form (μ-allyl)(μ-Cl) Pd2 (L) 2 has been …

A straightforward and scalable eight‐step synthesis of new N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs)
has been developed from inexpensive and readily available 2‐nitro‐m‐xylene. This process …

Direct C-2 amidation of indoles was reported using sulfonyl azides as the amino source to
release N2 as the single byproduct. This reaction exhibits high functional group tolerance …

[Pd (IPr* OMe)(cin)(Cl)] provides high catalytic activity for Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling
reactions of sterically demanding aryl chlorides with sterically hindered and deactivated …
