Through the combination of reaction kinetics (both stoichiometric and catalytic), solution- and solid-state characterization of arylpalladium(II) arylsilanolates, and computational analysis, the i
Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reactions have emerged as appealing methods to construct organic molecules without the use of stoichiometric organometallic reagents. The mechanisms are comple
An intermolecular three-component arylsilylation of alkynes has been developed under mild palladium/copper cooperative catalysis. The reaction proceeds through syn-addition of an aryl group and a sily
A Ru-catalyzed meta-selective C–H nitration of 2-arylbenzothiazoles and 2-arylthiazoles has been developed. A wide range of functional groups are tolerated, providing the meta-nitrated products in goo
