The electrophilic activation of alkenes by transition‐metal catalysts is a fundamental step in
a rapidly growing number of catalytic processes. Although palladium is the best known metal …

The transition from petroleum to biorenewable sources of carbon to meet our energy and
chemical feedstock needs is difficult, in part because these sources are so different, with …

CH3, CH2CH3; Ln= Nd, R= CH2CH3) and Cp'2LaŅCH (CH3) CH2CR2CH2 (HNCH (CH3)
CH2CR2CH2)(R= H, CH3) were synthesized to model species in the catalytic cycle. …

A modular approach to the synthesis of a class of mixed phosphorus/sulfur ligands was
designed to identify important ligand structural features for enantioselective palladium-catalyzed …

Objective To review the effect of morbid obesity surgery on type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to
analyze data that might explain the mechanisms of action of these surgeries and that could …

Catching Photons Visible light, an amine reductant, and a Rubpy32 photocatalyst can be
used to mediate the addition of glycosyl halides into alkenes to synthesize important C-…

A Pd-catalyzed intermolecular 1,2-carboamination route to indolines from N-aryl ureas and 1,3-dienes
that proceeds under mild conditions in relatively nonacidic media, is presented. …

The remarkable facility with which early lanthanide-alkyl bonds undergo olefin insertion
within bis (pentamethylcyclo-pentadienyl) metal coordination spheres1 (eg, eq 1; A,(1 atm …

Pd and CO—ureally got me! The title reaction proceeds efficiently at 18 C under CO (1 atm)
with 5 % [Pd(OTs) 2 (MeCN) 2 ] as precatalyst. Depending on the solvents used, either …

Gold (I)-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions continue to fascinate the synthetic
community but are less well investigated than many conventional metal catalysts.[1] In many …
