Novel palladium catalysed two- and three-component thermal (conventional heating and microwave) cascade processes are described involving allenylation of an aryl iodide to generate a (π-allyl)palladium species, which are intercepted (inter- or intramolecularly) by a carbon or nitrogen nucleophile followed by intramolecular Michael addition to afford carbo- and heterocycles in good yields.
A novel palladium-catalysed three component cascade process is described involving carbonylation of an aryl iodide to generate an acyl palladium species which is intercepted by a primary aliphatic/aromatic amine, amide or sulfonamide followed by intramolecular Michael addition to afford 3-substituted isoindolin-1-ones in good yield.
The palladium-catalyzed, two-step, one-potborylation/Suzuki coupling (BSC) reaction was developed to synthesize sterically hindered 2,2'-disubstituted biphenyl and phenyl-indole compounds in a short, simple, and efficient manner from two easily accessible aryl halides. High yields can be obtained by choosing properly both components according to their rough electronic properties. The illustration

(−)-riboflavin in the eyes of vertebrates to invert the intrinsic directionality of retinal isomerization. Herein, we extend this methodology to include a bioinspired, catalytic E → Z isomerization of α,β-unsaturated nitriles, thereby mimicking the intermediate Opsin-derived, protonated Schiff base in the visual cycle with simple polarized alkenes. Replacement of the iminium motif by a cyano group is well
