The ligand-assisted palladium (Pd)-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction is
one of the most attractive protocols in organic chemistry and phosphines have been …

A wide array of forms of palladium has been utilized as precatalysts for Heck and Suzuki
coupling reactions over the last 15 years. Historically, nearly every form of palladium used …

Abstract Palladium‐catalyzed C C and C N bond‐forming reactions are among the most
versatile and powerful synthetic methods. For the last 15 years, N‐heterocyclic carbenes …

Metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, notably those permitting C− C bond formation,
have witnessed a meteoritic development and are now routinely employed as a powerful …

The “phenylpropenoids” are a well-known set of naturally occurring compounds obtained
mainly from plant sources. 1, 2 Of this group, the generalized 2-propenylbenzenes 1 and 1 …

The synthesis of NHC‐PdCl2‐3‐chloropyridine (NHC= N‐heterocyclic carbene) complexes
from readily available starting materials in air is described. The 2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl …

Cross-coupling reactions have become indispensable tools for creating carbon–carbon (or
heteroatom) bonds in organic synthesis. Like in other important transition metal catalyzed …

In less than 20 years N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become well-established
ancillary ligands for the preparation of transition metal-based catalysts. This is mainly due to …

The last decade has witnessed a high demand of various synthetic approaches towards
bioactive achiral diarylmethanols, diaryl and triarylmethanes and the molecules derived …

In a previous and recent report, 1 we have highlighted in the introductory section the
transition-metal catalysed carbone carbon bond formation as a fundamental reaction in …
