Abstract
This account summarizes our recent work on palladacycles in organic synthesis and describes some unique catalytic properties of palladacycles as transition-metal catalysts for some useful transformations. Asymmetric induction has been realized by using chiral palladacycles as transition-metal catalysts. The influence of the C−Pd bond of palladacycles on their catalytic activity has been revealed. The reaction selectivity can be switched by appropriate choice of an sp 2 - or sp 3 -hybridized C , P -palladacycle catalyst. 1 Introduction 2 The Discovery of the Use of Palladacycles as Transition-Metal Catalysts and Their Applications in Asymmetric Catalysis 3 Switch Between Addition and Ring Opening in the Reaction of Oxabicyclic Alkenes with Terminal Alkynes by Catalysis with sp 2 - C , P - or sp 3 - C , P -Palladacycles 4 Synthesis of Polysubstituted Furans, Methylenecyclopropanes, and Polycyclic 5 H -Benzo[ b ]azepines through Catalysis by Palladacycles 5 Conclusions
