Palladium(III)-catalyzed fluorination of arylboronic acid derivatives.

Palladium-catalyzed formal arylacylation of allenes employing acid chlorides and arylboronic acids.

Palladium-catalyzed formal arylacylation of allenes using acid chlorides and arylboronic acids has been achieved. The reaction afforded the corresponding α,β-unsaturated ketones regio- and stereoselectively.

2-Substituted 3-arylindoles through palladium-catalyzed arylative cyclization of 2-alkynyltrifluoroacetanilides with arylboronic acids under oxidative conditions.

Free NH 2-substituted 3-arylindoles have been prepared usually in good to high yields through the palladium-catalyzed reaction of readily available 2-alkynyltrifluoroacetanilides with arylboronic acids under oxidative conditions. The reaction tolerates a variety of useful functional groups both in the arylboronic acid and in the alkyne, including chloro, formyl, and ester groups.

Pd-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of N-tosylhydrazones with arylboronic acids.

The Pd-catalyzed reaction of N-tosylhydrazones and arylboronic acids provides olefin derivatives. This oxidative cross-coupling is suggested to proceed through a migratory insertion process of a Pd carbene intermediate.

Palladium-mediated fluorination of arylboronic acids.

Mechanistic analysis of an asymmetric palladium-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to β-substituted cyclic enones

An asymmetric palladium-catalyzed conjugate addition reaction of arylboronic acids to enone substrates was investigated mechanistically. Desorption electrospray ionization coupled to mass spectrometry was used to identify intermediates of the catalytic cycle and delineate differences in substrate reactivity. Our findings provide evidence for the catalytic cycle proceeding through formation of a...
