This article summarizes recent efforts in developing enantioselective palladium- and nickel-catalyzed ring-opening/coupling reactions of cyclobutanones with a tethered aryl halide.
This review aims to collect advancements in enantioselective palladium-catalyzed cyclization reactions over the past eleven years, and it is organized into thirteen sections depending on the different types of transformations involved.
An efficient palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative [4+2] annulation of 1-indanones with alkynes results in the generation of diverse benzo[c]fluorenone derivatives in satisfactory yields and with regioselectivity.
We report here a catalytic method to make 3-(4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)propan-1-ol by coupling 1,4-benzenedimethanol with ethanol using a ruthenium catalyst.
Density functional theory calculations of Nazarov cyclizations showed that 3-alkenyl-2-indolylmethanol and tryptophol formed binary and ternary complexes, respectively, in the presence and absence of H2O to produce C–N and C–C products.
