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.
Developments in synthetic methods for and reactivity of heavier tetrylene and tetrylyne complexes of the d-block elements are summarised, with a view towards cooperative bond activation and utilisation in catalysis.
The aza-Friedel–Crafts (aza-FC) reaction is a very powerful tool for forming C–C and C–N bonds, based on an acid-catalyzed addition of electron-rich aromatic compounds to imines.
The review summarizes the increasing applications of the chiral bisphosphine ligand Ph-BPE in catalytic asymmetric reactions in the past twenty years.
A class of novel pyrrolinone ketimines was synthesized for the first time and applied to the asymmetric aza-Friedel–Crafts reaction with phenolic compounds.
