Summary: Palladium-catalyzed hydroaminocarbonylation reactions of olefins using aliphatic amines were successfully performed under carbon monoxide atmosphere. The targeted amides were synthesized in moderate to good isolated yields without the need for acidic additives. The effect of chiral diphosphines on product distribution, including chemo-, regio-, and enantioselectivities, was also investigated.

Summary: A Pd-catalyzed three-component protocol was developed for the direct synthesis of perfluoroalkyl-substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated esters using formates as convenient CO sources. The reaction proceeded smoothly under mild conditions with high yields and excellent selectivities. Detailed mechanistic studies supported by DFT calculations were conducted to understand the reaction pathway.

Summary: The palladium-catalyzed methoxy-methoxycarbonylation of monosubstituted allenes was reexamined. It was found that arylallenes provided methyl 2-methoxymethylacrylates in good yield with moderate to good enantioselectivity, while alkylallenes afforded methyl 2-methoxymethylacrylates regioselectively but with low enantioselectivity.

Summary: This study demonstrates predictable control over the mechanism of Pd-catalyzed allene cross-coupling/cyclization and cycloisomerization by targeted changes to the reaction conditions, resulting in the successful access to enantioenriched cyclopropanes and cyclopentenes. Furthermore, it shows a simple switch of the ligand on Pd can divert the reactivity of allenyl malonate from cross-coupling/cyclization to cycloisomerization.

Summary: A novel palladium-catalyzed cascade carbonylation is described for the direct and selective synthesis of alpha,beta-unsaturated piperidones, generating a broad range of intriguing heterocycles from easily available propargylic alcohols and aliphatic amines. The success of this transformation hinges on the catalytic cleavage of the carbon-carbon triple bond by a specific catalyst with 2-diphenylphosphinopyridine as ligand and suitable reaction conditions, with mechanistic studies pointing to the importance of branched unsaturated acid 11 as a crucial intermediate.

Summary: The direct alkoxy-aryloxycarbonylation reaction of olefins has been achieved for the first time, leading to the formation of mixed alkyl aryl succinates. The reaction shows high regioselectivity and moderate to excellent yields. Detailed DFT calculations and experimental results support the proposed catalytic cycle, which involves the crucial role of p-benzoquinone as both regenerating the active species and promoting the final elimination step.

Summary: Activation of alkynyl precursors with an endogenous carbon nucleophile in homogeneous gold catalysis enables the formation of Csp(3)-Csp(2) and Csp(2)-Csp(2) linked carbocycles. However, the exo-dig and endo-dig cyclization modes can lead to loss of regioselectivity. This review summarizes various gold-catalyzed carbocyclizations that achieve regioselectivity control.

Summary: A new method for the differential dihydrofunctionalization of terminal alkynes has been developed, enabling the synthesis of allylic boronate esters through a reductive three-component coupling reaction. This transformation, promoted by a copper/palladium catalyst system, hydrofunctionalizes both pi-bonds of the alkyne. The method is compatible with a wide range of functional groups.

Summary: This work proposes a stopped-flow synthesis as an alternative method for small molecule pharmaceutical discovery. By integrating a stopped-flow reactor into a high-throughput continuous platform, the success rate of synthesizing smaller libraries is significantly improved. The experimental datasets are used to train a neural network model, which shows good predictive performance when tested against external data.
