Alkyne carbopalladation reactions represent a powerful approach to generating multiple new C–C bonds and substituted alkenes, however regioselectivity is often challenging for intermolecular variants. By utilizing ynol ethers as polarized alkynes we observe complete regiocontrol of migratory insertion with Pd–Ar species. A Heck reaction was used to turn-over the catalytic cycle by intercepting the vinyl-Pd adduct of carbopalladation with a pendant alkene. When using <i>o</i>-iodo styrenes substrates the resulting products are oligosubstituted 1-indenol ethers with defined stereochemistry based on the initial alkene geometry. By blocking β-hydride elimination we demonstrated C–H and C–C reductive elimination steps for catalyst turnover. Herein we report the optimization of reaction conditions, scope, and alternative termination steps.

We herein describe a Ni-catalyzed multicomponent coupling reaction of alkyl halides, isocyanides, and H2O to access alkyl amides. Bench-stable NiCl2(dppp) is competent to initiate this transformation under mild reaction conditions, thus allowing easy operation and adding practical value. Substrate scope studies revealed a broad functional group tolerance and generality of primary and secondary alkyl halides in this protocol. A plausible catalytic cycle via a SET process is proposed based on preliminary experiments and previous literature.

Electron-deficient olefin (EDO) ligands are known to promote a variety of nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, presumably by accelerating the reductive elimination step and preventing undesired β-hydride elimination. While there is a growing body of experimental and computational evidence elucidating the beneficial effects of EDO ligands, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the underlying coordination chemistry of the Ni–EDO species involved. In particular, most procedures rely on in situ assembly of the active catalyst, and there is a paucity of pre-ligated Ni-EDO precatalysts. Herein, we investigate the 16-electron, heteroleptic nickel complex, Ni(COD)(DMFU), and examine the performance of this complex as a precatalyst in 1,2-diarylation of alkenes.

Herein, we report a versatile approach for the endocyclic ring-opening of bicyclic vinylcyclopropanes triggered by Heck arylations. Key step for this transformation is a [1,3]-migratory shift of Pd allowing the ring expansion of cyclopropanated pyrroles, piperidines, furans as well as cyclopentadienes to grant access to the corresponding 1,2-dihydropyridines, 2<i>H</i>-pyrans, 2,3-dihydro-1<i>H</i>-azepines and 1,4-cyclohexadienes, respectively. Additionally, <i>gem</i>-disubstituted cyclopropanated furans showed unexpected behavior by giving diastereoselectively asymmetrically substituted dienes. Mechanistic studies and theoretical calculations point towards a facile [1,3]-migratory shift of Pd along the cyclopropane moiety, which can successfully compete with the usual termination step of a Heck reaction via a <i>syn</i>-b-hydride elimination.<br>

A new and efficient synthesis of 6-bromo-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-(methylsulfinyl)-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one, a key intermediate of Palbociclib, starting from thiouracil was described. This protocol involved methylation, nucleophilic substitution, bromination, nucleophilic substitution, Heck reaction, ring closure, oxidation, and bromination to afford a key intermediate of Palbociclib with approximately 35% overall yield. The advantages of this developed synthetic strategy included improved overall yield, inexpensive starting materials, and readily controllable and cleaner reaction conditions.

Deoxydehydration (DODH) is an important reaction for the upconversion of biomass-derived polyols to commodity chemicals such as alkenes and dienes. DODH can be performed by a variety of early metal-oxo catalysts incorporating Re, Mo and V. The varying reduction methods used in the DODH catalytic cycle impact the product distribution, reaction mechanism and the overall yield of the reaction. This review surveys the reduction methods commonly used in homogeneous DODH catalyst systems and their impacts on yield and reaction conditions.

A novel single-site catalyst was prepared from N-pheneyldiethanolamine and titanium tetrachloride and characterized using spectroscopic methods such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Infra Red (IR) spectroscopy. It was prepared insitu and used to polymerize ethylene along with methylaluminoxane (MAO) as co-catalyst. The turnover frequency for ethylene polymerization was found to be 350 g and 550g polymer/mol catalyst/h for 1 bar and at 2 bar respectively. As the turn over frequency at the studied reaction conditions is good, the present N-pheneyldiethanolamine-based catalyst is a good single-site catalyst for olefin polymerization
