The Wacker reaction is the oxidation of olefins to ketones and typically requires expensive
and scarce palladium catalysts in the presence of an additional copper co‐catalyst under …

Palladium-catalyzed Wacker-type reactions occupy a central place in organic synthesis with
important implications in industry. Pursuing more benign protocols by replacing palladium …

A practical and general iron‐catalyzed Wacker‐type oxidation of olefins to ketones is
presented, and it uses ambient air as the sole oxidant. The mild oxidation conditions enable …

The dehydroacylation of ketones to olefins is realized under mild conditions, which exhibits
a unique reaction pathway involving aromatization-driven C–C cleavage to remove the acyl …

Nucleopalladation is one of the most common mechanisms for Pd-catalyzed hydro-and
oxidative functionalization of alkenes. Due to the electronic bias of the π-alkene-palladium …

The intrinsic heterogeneity of alumina (Al2O3) surface presents a challenge for the
