Palladium-Catalyzed Four-Component Cascade Reaction for the Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Acyclic O,O-Acetals

Advances in Palladium-Catalyzed Carboxylation Reactions

In this short review, we highlight the advancements in the field of palladium-catalyzed carbon dioxide utilization for the synthesis of high value added organic molecules. The review is structured on the basis of the kind of substrate undergoing the Pd-catalyzed carboxylation process. Accordingly, after the introductory section, the main sections of the review will illustrate Pd-catalyzed carboxylation of olefinic substrates, acetylenic substrates, and other substrates (aryl halides and triflates).

Synthesis of medicinally relevant oxalylamines via copper/Lewis acid synergistic catalysis

Allylamines have long been recognized as valuable synthons because of their excellent reactivity in organic synthesis. Here, an efficient amination reaction of allenyl ethers via copper/Lewis acid synergistic catalysis has been established, providing straightforward access to diverse functionalized Z-oxalylamines and E -halogenated oxalylamines in good to excellent yields with high regio- and stereoselectivities. The developed method tolerates more than 100 examples that include late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules, and features gram-scale synthesis of oxalylamines with high turnover number (TON > 1000) under mild and simple conditions. The applicability of the protocol is further demonstrated with the construction of drug molecules.

Palladium-catalyzed multicomponent reactions: an overview

This first review on this topic focuses on the developments in the chemistry of Pd-catalyzed multi-component reactions (MCRs). MCRs are generally atom economic, ideal and eco-friendly reactions, and often the final products are generated almost without any by-products. In this review, the developments in Pd-catalyzed MCRs are categorized based on the products formed such as acyclic compounds, carbocyclic compounds, heterocyclic compounds and miscellaneous compounds. MCRs have great applications in various fields like medicinal chemistry, combinatorial synthesis, heterocyclic chemistry etc. and this review covers the literature up to 2019.
