Radical–radical couplings are mostly nearly diffusion‐controlled processes. Therefore, the
selective cross‐coupling of two different radicals is challenging and not a synthetically …

Selective functionalization of ubiquitous unactivated C–H bonds is a continuous quest for
synthetic organic chemists. In addition to transition metal catalysis, which typically operates …

Key similarities and differences of Pd and Ni in catalytic systems are discussed. Overall, Ni
and Pd catalyze a vast number of similar C–C and C–heteroatom bond-forming reactions …

The extraordinary impact of metal-based complexes on synthetic methods is still recognized
nowadays, and attempts are currently undertaken to further extend the use of metal-assisted …

We report the first palladium hydride enabled hydroalkenylation of strained molecules. This
new mild protocol proceeds via a regio-and chemoselective hydropalladation step, followed …

A photoinduced palladium-catalyzed 1, 2-carbofunctionalization of conjugated dienes has
been developed. This mild modular approach, which does not require employment of …

The use of alkyl chlorides in Pd-catalyzed Mizoroki–Heck coupling reactions remains an
unsolved problem despite their significant potential for synthetic utility and applicability. The …

Visible‐light photocatalysis has advanced as a versatile tool in organic synthesis. However,
attaining precise stereocontrol in photocatalytic reactions has been a longstanding …

Excited-state palladium catalysis has emerged as a promising strategy for developing novel
and valuable reactions. Herein, we report the first excited-state Pd-catalyzed 1, 2-radical …

Excited-state catalysis, a process that involves one or more excited catalytic species, has
emerged as a powerful tool in organic synthesis because it allows access to the excited …
