The Pd (0)-catalyzed vinylation of aryl halides was first reported over 30 years ago in
independent studies by Mizoroki and Heck. 1 The transformation that has come to be known …

The chemistry of binuclear palladium (II) and platinum (II) complexes has been reviewed.
This review deals with complexes derived from various classes of ligands and covers …

Intramolecular Heck reactions of seven (Z)-α, β-unsaturated 2-iodoanilides catalyzed by Pd−
BINAP were surveyed using two reaction conditions:(1) silver-promoted cyclizations in the …

The development of ligands and the elucidation of their roles in the catalytic cycle are key to
achieving high efficiency and selectivity in nondirected transition-metal-catalyzed C–H …

There has been considerable interest in the chemistry of palladium and platinum complexes

The steric influence of substituents on the 2‐and 9‐positions of phenanthroline in the (2, 9‐
R2‐1, 10‐phenanthroline) palladium (II)‐catalyzed aerobic oxidation of 2‐hexanol was …

The review is focused on five-coordinate Pd (II)-and Pt (II)-alkene complexes with a trigonal
bipyramidal arrangement of the ligands. Synthetic methods are extensively described and …

Since the first reports in 1989," l catalytic asymmetric Heck reactions have emerged as
powerful transformations for controlling absolute stereochemistry in the formation of CC …

Optimized conditions are described that effect the carbonylation of diverse heterocyclic
chlorides to yield the desired alkyl esters. In addition, bromoanilines and bromoanisoles …
