Recent Literature
A broad range of 1,3-dienes have been prepared by the Heck olefination of vinyl
bromides using low loadings of [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl]2/cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]cyclopentane
(Tedicyp) as the catalyst precursor. Both α- and β-substituted vinyl bromides
undergo the Heck reaction with nonfunctionalised and functionalised alkenes such
as acrylates, enones, styrenes.

A general and mild protocol of oxygen-promoted Pd(II) catalysis allows a
selective cross-couplings of alkenyl- and arylboron compounds with various
olefins. Unlike most cross-coupling reactions, this new methodology works well
even in the absence of bases, consequently averting undesired homo-couplings.

coupling partners.

A variety of organolithiums are added to terminal and 2,2-disubstituted epoxides

accessed using this procedure.

The PdCl2/PtBu3 catalytic system with copper(I)
iodide and cesium fluoride in DMF is most effective for coupling aryl bromides,
while Pd(PPh3)4 is optimal when coupling iodides and
triflates. The combination of copper(I) iodide and cesium fluoride should allow
the synthesis of sterically hindered systems and promotes electronically
disfavored coupling reactions.
