Synthesis of polyfluorene containing simple functional end group with aryl palladium(II) complexes as initiators

Oxidative addition of verdazyl halogenides to Pd(PPh3)4

A novel approach to the preparation of stable Pd-substituted verdazyls was developed through the direct oxidative addition of iodoverdazyls to Pd(PPh₃)₄.

α,β-Diaryl unsaturated ketones via palladium-catalyzed ring-opening of cyclopropenones with organoboronic acids

Palladium-catalyzed ring-opening acylation of cyclopropenones with organoboronic acids (aryl and vinylboronic acids) at room temperature has been developed to synthesise α,β-diaryl unsaturated ketones with good yields and excellent stereospecificity.
