The synthesis and characterization of bulky diphosphine 1, 2-bis (4-phosphorinone) xylene,
BPX, and its palladium complexes [(BPX) PdCl2] and [(BPX) Pd (O2CCF3) 2] are described …

We report a contra-thermodynamic isomerization of internal olefins to terminal olefins driven
by redox reactions and formation of Si–F bonds. This process involves chain-walking …

We report a newly developed, palladium-catalyzed dehydrosilylation of terminal alkylsilanes
that combines with chain-walking hydrosilylation to create a one-pot isomerization of internal …
