A simple catalyst system consisting of Pd(OAc)2 and 3‐nitropyridine for the aerobic oxidative Heck coupling of cyclic enones, in particular challenging unsubstituted cyclic enones, with simple arenes by CHactivation was investigated. This novel method was applied to various functionalized arenes and cyclic enones and allowed the synthesis of β‐aryl cyclic enones in modest to high yields.
One-pot synthesis of Robinson annulated 3-aryl-cyclohexenones from allyl alcohols and ketones using palladium is reported. Long chain aliphatic or aryl substitutions at the C1 position of allyl alcohol result in the formation of 1,5-diketone products. This simple one-pot method avoids the use of highly electrophilic vinyl ketones.

Pd(OAc)(2)/3 is an efficient catalyst system for the base-free oxidative Heck reaction that outperforms the currently available catalysts for the more challenging substrates studied. The catalyst system is highly selective, and works at room temperature with dioxygen as the oxidant.
Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral Cyclic Allylic Amines via Rh-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation
enantioselective asymmetric hydrogenation of cyclic dienamides catalyzed by an Rh-DuanPhos complex has been developed, which provides a readilyaccessible method for the synthesis of chiral cyclic allylic amines in excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). The products are valuable chiralbuildingblocks and could be easily transformed to multisubstituted cyclohexane derivatives.
