Four′s a crowd: An efficient protocol for the formation of benzylicquaternarycentersvia arylation of enones using a catalyst made from Pd(O2CCF3)2 and 2,2′‐bipyridine is developed. For cyclic substrates, catalyst loadings as low as 1 mol % Pd are enough to afford excellent yields (>90 %) using a variety of arylboronic acids. In case of acyclic substrates, the addition of KSbF6 was found to improve

addition of ortho-substituted arylboronic acids to cyclic enones was developed. The addition of various ortho-substituted arylboronic acid to β-substituted cyclic enones, via catalysis with a chiral phenanthroline-Pd complex, formed cyclic ketone products bearing ortho-substituted benzylic all-carbon quaternarycenters with good yields and high enantioselectivity.

Methylenecyclobutanes undergo Wacker oxidation towards cyclopentanones under mild reaction conditions. A semi-pinacol-type rearrangement is proposed to be responsible for the intermediary 1,2-shift, which not only explains the formation of the products, but also rationalizes the reaction outcomes in terms of site-, regio- and enantioselectivity.

Divergent reactivity is uncovered in the homologation of arylcyclobutanones with trimethylsilyldiazomethane. With Sc(OTf)(3) as catalyst, enolsilanes are obtained with a high preference for methylene migration. By contrast, Sc(hfac)(3) gives beta-ketosilanes with both regio- and diastereocontrol. Each adduct affords the cyclopentanone upon hydrolysis.
