solvent allows controlled and efficient switching between oxidative Heck and conjugateadditionreactions on cyclic Michael acceptor substrates, catalyzed by a cationic Pd(II) catalyst system. Both reactions are ligand- and base-free and tolerant of air and moisture, and the controlled switching sheds light on some of the factors which favor one reaction over the other.

Hydroxy-rhodium catalyzed dimerization of various cyclicenones to the corresponding α-enone adducts is developed. The key feature of this method is that the base-sensitive, highly substituted enones also undergo dimerization and the resultant products are obtained in moderate to good yields.
As significant pharmacophores, 1,3-disubstituted cyclohexanes are widespread in natural products and synthetic bioactive molecules. In this work, we describe a palladium-catalyzed arylboration of 1,4-cyclohexadienes, which allows expeditious access to an array of functionalized 1,3-disubstituted cyclohexanes from the readily available starting materials. Palladium catalysis enables the arylboration
