 Through the use of Pd2(dba)3/P(t-Bu)3 as a catalyst, a wide range of aryl and vinyl halides, including chlorides, undergo Suzuki cross-coupling with arylboronic acids in very good yield, typically at room temperature; through use of Pd(OAc)2/PCy3, a diverse array of aryl and vinyl triflates react cleanly at room temperature. Together, these two catalyst systems cover a broad spectrum of commonly encountered substrates for Suzuki couplings. Furthermore, they display novel reactivity patterns, such as the selective cross-coupling by Pd2(dba)3/P(t-Bu)3 of an aryl chloride in preference to an aryl triflate, and they can be used at low loading, even for reactions of aryl chlorides. Preliminary mechanistic work indicates that a palladium monophosphine complex is the active catalyst in the cross-coupling of aryl halides.

 Collectively, palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions represent some of the most powerful and versatile tools available to synthetic organic chemists. Their widespread popularity stems in part from the fact that they are generally tolerant to a large number of functional groups, which allows them to be employed in a wide range of applications. However, for many years a major limitation of palladium-catalyzed coupling processes has been the poor reactivity of aryl chlorides, which from the standpoints of cost and availability are more attractive substrates than the corresponding bromides, iodides, and triflates. Traditional palladium/triarylphosphane catalysts are only effective for the coupling of certain activated aryl chlorides (for example, heteroaryl chlorides and substrates that bear electron-withdrawing groups), but not for aryl chlorides in general. Since 1998, major advances have been described by a number of research groups addressing this challenge; catalysts based on bulky, electron-rich phosphanes and carbenes have proved to be particularly mild and versatile. This review summarizes both the seminal early work and the exciting recent developments in the area of palladium-catalyzed couplings of aryl chlorides.

 Transition metal catalysts, particularly those derived from the group VIII−X metals, display remarkable efficiency for the formation of carbon−carbon and carbon−heteroatom bonds through the reactions of suitable nucleophiles with organic electrophilic partners. Within this subset of the periodic table, palladium and nickel complexes offer the broadest utility, while additionally providing the deepest mechanistic insight into thus-termed "cross-coupling reactions". The mammoth effort devoted to palladium and nickel catalysts over the past 30 years has somewhat obscured reports of alternative metal complexes in this arena. As cross-coupling reactions have evolved into a critical support for modern synthetic chemistry, the search for alternative catalysts has been taken up with renewed vigor. When the current generation of synthetic chemists reflects back to the origins of cross coupling for inspiration, the well-documented effect of iron salts on the reactivity of Grignard reagents with organic electrophiles surfaces as a fertile ground for alternative catalyst development. Iron possesses the practical benefits more befitting an alkali or alkaline earth metal, while displaying the unique reactivity of a d-block element. Therefore the search for broadly applicable iron catalysts for cross coupling is an increasingly important goal in modern synthetic organic chemistry. This Account describes the evolution of iron-catalyzed cross coupling from its inception in the work of Kochi to the present. Specific emphasis is placed on reactivity and synthetic applications, with selected examples from acyl-, alkenyl-, aryl-, and alkyl halide/pseudohalide cross coupling included. The typical reaction partners are Grignard reagents, though organomanganese, -copper, and -zinc derivatives have also been used in certain cases. Such iron-catalyzed processes occur very rapidly even at low temperature and therefore are distinguished by broad functional group compatibility. Furthermore, recent advances in carbon−heteroatom bond formation and studies relevant to the general reactivity of in situ generated and structurally defined "low-valent" iron catalysts are presented. The preparative aspects of iron-catalyzed cross coupling are encouraging, but the inclination to classify these processes within the characteristic reaction manifold is premature, as mechanistic studies have evolved at a comparatively slow pace. A typical protocol for cross coupling employs an Fe(+2) or Fe(+3) precatalyst, which is reduced in situ by the organometallic nucleophile. The nature of the resulting active component(s) is still best described, more than 30 years later, in Kochi's original terms as a "reduced form of soluble iron". Despite huge gaps in our current knowledge, three distinct mechanisms have been formulated, largely based on empirical evidence: a "canonical" cross-coupling process, a manifold wherein alkylation of an organoiron intermediate replaces transmetalation as a key step, and finally a proposal reliant on the formation of nucleophilic ate complexes. Conjecture and speculation abound, but precisely what constitutes the catalytic cycle in iron-catalyzed cross coupling remains an extremely challenging unanswered question.

 Abstract The transition metal-catalyzed reactions of organometallics with organic halides have been extensively studied to prove a new approach to selective formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Recently, such coupling reactions of haloarenes with aryl magnesium1–3 and zinc4 compounds in the presence of palladium or nickel complexes have been reported for the synthesis of biaryls. Davidson and Triggs5 have previously reported that arylboronic acids react with sodium palladate to give the corresponding biaryls in good yields. The synthetic utility of the dimerization reaction is, however, limited because it requires stoichiometric amounts of the palladium compound. On the other hand, we have recently reported that cross-coupling reactions between alkenylboranes and organic halides such as alkenyl,6 alkynyl,6 aryl,7 allyl,8 and benzyl8 halides are effectively catalyzed by a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, Pd(PPh3)4 in the presence of suitable bases as indicated in Scheme 1. Although the detailed mechanistic pathway is not clear at present, the reaction should involve a transmetallation step from alkenylboranes to alkenylpalladiums.

 The cores of many types of polymers, ligands, natural products, and pharmaceuticals contain biaryl or substituted aromatic structures, and efficient methods of synthesizing these structures are crucial to the work of a broad spectrum of organic chemists. Recently, Pd-catalyzed carbon−carbon bond-forming processes, particularly the Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling reaction (SMC), have risen in popularity for this purpose. The SMC has many advantages over other methods for constructing these moieties, including mild conditions, high tolerance toward functional groups, the commercial availability and stability of its reagents, and the ease of handling and separating byproducts from its reaction mixtures. Until 1998, most catalysts for the SMC employed triarylphosphine ligands. More recently, new bulky and electron-rich phosphine ligands, which can dramatically improve the efficiency and selectivity of such cross-coupling reactions, have been introduced. In the course of our studies on carbon−nitrogen bond-forming reactions, we found that the use of electron-rich and bulky phosphines enhanced the rate of both the oxidative addition and reductive elimination processes; this was the beginning of our development of a new family of ligands, the dialkylbiarylphosphines L1−L12. These ligands can be used for a wide variety of palladium-catalyzed carbon−carbon, carbon−nitrogen, and carbon−oxygen bond-forming processes as well as serving as supporting ligands for a number of other reactions. The enhanced reactivity of these catalysts has expanded the scope of cross-coupling partners that can be employed in the SMC. With use of such dialkylbiarylphosphine ligands, the coupling of unactivated aryl chlorides, aryl tosylates, heteroaryl systems, and very hindered substrate combinations have become routine. The utility of these ligands has been successfully demonstrated in a wide number of synthetic applications, including industrially relevant processes. In this Account, we provide an overview of the use and impact of dialkylbiarylphosphine ligands in the SMC. We discuss our studies on the mechanistic framework of the reaction, which have allowed us to rationally modify the ligand structures in order to tune their properties. We also describe selected applications in the synthesis of natural products and new materials to illustrate the utility of these dialkylbiarylphosphine ligands in various "real-world" synthetic applications.

 In 2010, Richard Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki joined the prestigious circle of Nobel Laureate chemists for their roles in discovering and developing highly practical methodologies for C-C bond construction. From their original contributions in the early 1970s the landscape of the strategies and methods of organic synthesis irreversibly changed for the modern chemist, both in academia and in industry. In this Review, we attempt to trace the historical origin of these powerful reactions, and outline the developments from the seminal discoveries leading to their eminent position as appreciated and applied today.

 Acetylenic coupling is currently experiencing some of the most intensive study of its long history. Rigid and sterically undemanding di- and oligoacetylene moieties, which are frequently encountered in natural products, are finding increasing application as key structural elements in synthetic receptors for molecular recognition. Interesting electronic and optical properties of extensively pi-conjugated systems have spurred research into new linear oligoalkynes and acetylenic carbon allotropes. The synthetic challenges associated with these efforts have in turn spawned new methods. While classical Glaser conditions are still frequently used for homocoupling, the demand for increasingly selective heterocoupling conditions has provided the focus of research over the past decades. These efforts have undoubtedly been hampered by a relatively poor mechanistic understanding of these processes. More recently, palladium-catalyzed coupling methods have led to improvements in both the selectivity and reliability of acetylenic homo- and heterocouplings and paved the way for their application to ever more complicated systems. The variety of acetylenic coupling protocols, the current mechanistic understanding, and their application in natural product and targeted synthesis are discussed comprehensively for the first time in this review, with an emphasis on the most recently developed methods, and their application to the synthesis of complex macromolecular structures.

 Abstract The cross‐coupling of organotin reagents with a variety of organic electrophiles, catalyzed by palladium, provides a novel method for generating a carbon‐carbon bond. Because this mild, versatile reaction is tolerant of a wide variety of functional groups on either coupling partner, is stereospecific and regioselective, and gives high yields of product, it is ideal for use in the synthesis of elaborate organic molecules. When the coupling reaction is carried out in the presence of carbon monoxide, instead of a direct coupling, carbon monoxide insertion takes place, stitching the two coupling partners together and generating a ketone.

 Copper-catalyzed Ullmann condensations are key reactions for the formation of carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. These reactions can lead to structural moieties that are prevalent in building blocks of active molecules in the life sciences and in many material precursors. An increasing number of publications have appeared concerning Ullmann-type intermolecular reactions for the coupling of aryl and vinyl halides with N, O, and C nucleophiles, and this Minireview highlights recent and major developments in this topic since 2004.

 The coupling of aryl or vinyl halides with terminal acetylenes catalysed by palladium and other transition metals, commonly termed as Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction, is one of the most important and widely used sp(2)-sp carbon-carbon bond formation reactions in organic synthesis, frequently employed in the synthesis of natural products, biologically active molecules, heterocycles, molecular electronics, dendrimers and conjugated polymers or nanostructures. This critical review focuses on developments in the Sonogashira reaction achieved in recent years concerning catalysts, reaction conditions and substrates (352 references).

 Palladium-catalyzed C-C and C-N bond-forming reactions are among the most versatile and powerful synthetic methods. For the last 15 years, N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have enjoyed increasing popularity as ligands in Pd-mediated cross-coupling and related transformations because of their superior performance compared to the more traditional tertiary phosphanes. The strong sigma-electron-donating ability of NHCs renders oxidative insertion even in challenging substrates facile, while their steric bulk and particular topology is responsible for fast reductive elimination. The strong Pd-NHC bonds contribute to the high stability of the active species, even at low ligand/Pd ratios and high temperatures. With a number of commercially available, stable, user-friendly, and powerful NHC-Pd precatalysts, the goal of a universal cross-coupling catalyst is within reach. This Review discusses the basics of Pd-NHC chemistry to understand the peculiarities of these catalysts and then gives a critical discussion on their application in C-C and C-N cross-coupling as well as carbopalladation reactions.

 Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reactions of aromatic halides in the presence of various nucleophiles have undergone rapid development since the pioneering work of Heck and co-workers in 1974, such that nowadays a plethora of palladium catalysts are available for different carbonylative transformations. The carboxylic acid derivatives, aldehydes, and ketones prepared in this way are important intermediates in the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other industrial products. In this Review, the recent academic developments in this area and the first industrial processes are summarized.

 Abstract Palladium‐catalyzed coupling reactions have become a central tool for the synthesis of biologically active compounds both in academia and industry. Most of these transformations make use of easily available substrates and allow for a shorter and more selective preparation of substituted arenes and heteroarenes compared to non‐catalytic pathways. Notably, molecular‐defined palladium catalysts offer high chemoselectivity and broad functional group tolerance. Considering these advantages, it is not surprising that several palladium‐catalyzed coupling reactions have been implemented in the last decade into the industrial manufacture of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. In this review different examples from 2001–2008 are highlighted, which have been performed at least on a kilogram scale in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

 Many active pharmaceuticals, herbicides, conducting polymers, and components of organic light-emitting diodes contain arylamines. For many years, this class of compound was prepared via classical methods, such as nitration, reduction and reductive alkylation, copper-mediated chemistry at high temperatures, addition to benzyne intermediates, or direct nucleophilic substitution on particularly electron-poor aromatic or heteroaromatic halides. However, during the past decade, palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions of amines with aryl halides have largely supplanted these earlier methods. Successive generations of catalysts have gradually improved the scope and efficiency of the palladium-catalyzed reaction. This Account describes the conceptual basis and utility of our latest, "fourth-generation" palladium catalyst for the coupling of amines and related reagents with aryl halides. In the past five years, we have developed these catalysts using the lessons learned from previous generations of catalysts developed in our group and in other laboratories. The ligands on the fourth-generation catalyst combine the chelating properties of the aromatic bisphosphines of the second-generation systems with the steric properties and strong electron donation of the hindered alkylphosphines of the third-generation systems. The currently most reactive catalyst in this class is generated from palladium and a sterically hindered version of the Josiphos family of ligands that possesses a ferrocenyl-1-ethyl backbone, a hindered di-tert-butylphosphino group, and a hindered dicyclohexylphosphino group. This system catalyzes the coupling of aryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides with primary amines, N−H imines, and hydrazones in high yield. The reaction has broad scope, high functional group tolerance, and nearly perfect selectivity for monoarylation. It also requires the lowest levels of palladium that have been used for C−N coupling. In addition, this latest catalyst has dramatically improved the coupling of thiols with haloarenes to form C−S bonds. Using ligands that lacked one or more of the structural elements of the most active catalyst, we examined the effects of individual structural elements of the Josiphos ligand on catalyst activity. This set of studies showed that each one of these elements contributes to the high reactivity and selectivity of the catalyst containing the hindered, bidentate Josiphos ligand. Finally, we examined the effect of electronic properties on the rates of reductive elimination to distinguish between the effect of the properties of the M−N σ-bond and the nitrogen electron pair. We have found that the effects of electronic properties on C−C and C−N bond-forming reductive elimination are similar. Because the amido ligands contain an electron pair, while the alkyl ligands do not, we have concluded that the major electronic effect is transmitted through the σ-bond.

 Pd2+-exchanged graphite oxide and chemically derived graphenes therefrom were employed as supports for Pd nanoparticles. The influence of catalyst preparation, carbon functionalization, and catalyst morphology on the catalytic activity in the Suzuki−Miyaura coupling reactions was investigated. The catalysts were characterized by means of spectroscopy (FT-IR, solid-state 13C NMR, AAS, XPS), X-ray scattering (WAXS), surface area analysis (BET, methylene blue adsorption), and electron microscopy (TEM, ESEM). In contrast to the conventional Pd/C catalyst, graphite oxide and graphene-based catalysts gave much higher activities with turnover frequencies exceeding 39 000 h−1, accompanied by very low palladium leaching (<1 ppm).

 Oxidative addition and reductive elimination are the central steps in new palladium-catalyzed chemistry that forms C–N and C–O bonds in arylamines and ethers. In the potential mechanism shown on the right the amine is formed by reductive elimination from a four-coordinate, 16-electron amido aryl complex. The use of a chelating ligand such as 1,1â€Č-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene (DPPF) reduces the occurrence of the competing ÎČ-hydrogen elimination. X=Br, I; R, Râ€Č=alkyl, aryl.

 N-Heterocyclic carbenes have become universal ligands in organometallic and inorganic coordination chemistry. They not only bind to any transition metal, be it in low or high oxidation states, but also to main group elements such as beryllium, sulfur, and iodine. Because of their specific coordination chemistry, N-heterocyclic carbenes both stabilize and activate metal centers in quite different key catalytic steps of organic syntheses, for example, C-H activation, C-C, C-H, C-O, and C-N bond formation. There is now ample evidence that in the new generation of organometallic catalysts the established ligand class of organophosphanes will be supplemented and, in part, replaced by N-heterocyclic carbenes. Over the past few years, this chemistry has been the field of vivid scientific competition, and yielded previously unexpected successes in key areas of homogeneous catalysis. From the work in numerous academic laboratories and in industry, a revolutionary turning point in oraganometallic catalysis is emerging.

 In studying the evolution of organic chemistry and grasping its essence, one comes quickly to the conclusion that no other type of reaction plays as large a role in shaping this domain of science than carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. The Grignard, Diels-Alder, and Wittig reactions are but three prominent examples of such processes, and are among those which have undeniably exercised decisive roles in the last century in the emergence of chemical synthesis as we know it today. In the last quarter of the 20th century, a new family of carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions based on transition-metal catalysts evolved as powerful tools in synthesis. Among them, the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are the most prominent. In this Review, highlights of a number of selected syntheses are discussed. The examples chosen demonstrate the enormous power of these processes in the art of total synthesis and underscore their future potential in chemical synthesis.

 A wide array of forms of palladium has been utilized as precatalysts for Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions over the last 15 years. Historically, nearly every form of palladium used has been described as the active catalytic species. However, recent research has begun to shed light on the in situ transformations that many palladium precatalysts undergo during and before the catalytic reaction, and there are now many suggestions in the literature that narrow the scope of types of palladium that may be considered true “catalysts” in these coupling reactions. In this work, for each type of precatalyst, the recent literature is summarized and the type(s) of palladium that are proposed to be truly active are enumerated. All forms of palladium, including discrete soluble palladium complexes, solid-supported metal ligand complexes, supported palladium nano- and macroparticles, soluble palladium nanoparticles, soluble ligand-free palladium, and palladium-exchanged oxides are considered and reviewed here. A considerable focus is placed on solid precatalysts and on evidence for and against catalysis by solid surfaces vs. soluble species when starting with various precatalysts. The review closes with a critical overview of various control experiments or tests that have been used by authors to assess the homogeneity or heterogeneity of catalyst systems.

 Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions that form C–N bonds have become useful methods to synthesize anilines and aniline derivatives, an important class of compounds throughout chemical research. A key factor in the widespread adoption of these methods has been the continued development of reliable and versatile catalysts that function under operationally simple, user-friendly conditions. This review provides an overview of Pd-catalyzed N-arylation reactions found in both basic and applied chemical research from 2008 to the present. Selected examples of C–N cross-coupling reactions between nine classes of nitrogen-based coupling partners and (pseudo)aryl halides are described for the synthesis of heterocycles, medicinally relevant compounds, natural products, organic materials, and catalysts.

 Cross-couplings and related reactions are a class of highly efficient synthetic protocols that are generally promoted by molecular Pd species as catalysts. However, catalysts based on more or less highly dispersed Pd metal have been also employed for this purpose, and their use, which was largely limited to the Heck reaction until the turn of the century, has been extended in recent years to most reactions of this class. This review provides a critical overview on these recent applications of Pd metal catalysts. Particular attention is devoted to the discussion of the mechanistic pathways that have been proposed to explain the catalytic role of Pd metal. Furthermore, the most outstanding Pd metal based catalytic systems that have emerged are illustrated, together with the development of novel approaches to boost the reactivity of Pd metal. A section summarizing the current industrial applications of Pd metal catalyzed reactions of this kind concludes the review.

 Suzuki−Miyaura coupling reactions of aryl and heteroaryl halides with aryl-, heteroaryl- and vinylboronic acids proceed in very good to excellent yield with the use of 2-(2',6'-dimethoxybiphenyl)dicyclohexylphosphine, SPhos (1). This ligand confers unprecedented activity for these processes, allowing reactions to be performed at low catalyst levels, to prepare extremely hindered biaryls and to be carried out, in general, for reactions of aryl chlorides at room temperature. Additionally, structural studies of various 1·Pd complexes are presented along with computational data that help elucidate the efficacy that 1 imparts on Suzuki−Miyaura coupling processes. Moreover, a comparison of the reactions with 1 and with 2-(2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl)diphenylphosphine (2) is presented that is informative in determining the relative importance of ligand bulk and electron-donating ability in the high activity of catalysts derived from ligands of this type. Further, when the aryl bromide becomes too hindered, an interesting C−H bond functionalization-cross-coupling sequence intervenes to provide product in high yield.

 We report a nickel-catalyzed enantioconvergent C(spÂł)–C(spÂł) cross-coupling between α-iodogermanes and alkylzinc reagents to access α-chiral alkylgermanes. This transformation, a strategy previously established for silicon-based electrophiles extends to germanium, enabling the enantioselective formation of α-chiral germanes from simple, unactivated alkyl chains. While yields and enantioselectivities remain moderate, the reaction outcome was finely tuned through the design and evaluation of a library of over 30 ligands, including more than a dozen novel scaffolds. Notably, two distinct NiBr₂∙PyBox complexes allowed for access to products of opposite absolute configuration, and preformed nickel complexes were required to reach synthetically useful conversions. These findings highlight the challenges of asymmetric catalysis with heavier main-group elements and provide a platform for the future design of ligands tailored to organogermanium chemistry.

 This paper presents a novel base-mediated strategy for the divergent synthesis of oxygen- and nitrogen-containing heterotricyclic compounds, furo[3,2-c]chromene and furo[3,2-c]quinolone, from γ-alkynyl 1,3-diketones without the use of transition metals. These one-pot tandem reaction methodologies demonstrate remarkable versatility, enabling base-mediated O-attack via 5-exo-dig or C-attack intramolecular cyclization onto the alkyne, leading to the formation of furo[3,2-c]chromene or xanthone products. Additionally, sequential reactions involving regioselective condensation followed by tandem annulation afford furo[3,2-c]quinolone. These approaches leverage precisely controlled reaction conditions to direct selective annulation pathways, facilitating the construction of diverse heterocyclic frameworks with significant pharmaceutical potential.

 Abstract Developing high‐performance Pd‐based catalysts with ultra‐low Pd loading is essential but challenging for the multi‐step Sonogashira coupling reactions. Structure–function relationships for single atom catalysts (SACs) are highly dependent on the coordination environments of active sites on appropriate supports. Herein, a facile strategy consisting of crystal phase engineering and thermal atomization to access a Pd‐based SAC with 0.35 wt% Pd loading (Pd 1 /TiO 2‐ x ) is reported. The resulting material consists of spatially isolated Pd atoms decorated on rutile TiO 2 (a support that is frequently overlooked in catalyst design). The use of this Pd catalyst in the Sonogashira C−C coupling of iodobenzene and phenylacetylene to diphenylacetylene achieves distinguished catalytic efficacy, rendering a high yield of 98% and a turnover frequency (TOF) of 23 809 h −1 , which is comparable to similar state‐of‐the‐art catalysts. Mechanistic investigations disclose that this strategy promotes interfacial electron transfer between the metal and support, endowing a unique electronic structure and ensuring electronic metal–support coupling effects in Pd 1 /TiO 2‐ x . This significantly affects the adsorption/activation of reactants and the desorption of intermediates/products, thereby strongly boosting the coupling efficiency. These findings highlight the great importance of catalyst design for multi‐step coupling reactions.

 The palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction (SMC) serves as a pivotal method for constructing carbon–carbon bonds in organic synthesis. In this study, a bimetallic Pd‐Cu/Fe 2 O 3 nanoplate catalyst are rationally designed and synthesized through a sequential impregnation strategy. The phase composition, morphological features, and surface electronic states of the catalyst are systematically characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and H 2 ‐temperature‐programmed reduction (TPR). Remarkably, this heterogeneous nanocatalyst exhibits outstanding catalytic activity for SMC reactions under mild temperature of 40 °C, achieving 99% product yield within 15 min in the absence of toxic solvents or phase‐transfer agents. The superior catalytic performance is mainly attributed to the coexistence of Pd 2+ and Pd ή+ (2 &lt; ή &lt; 4) on the support surface and the synergistic effect between PdO and CuO nanoparticles. Furthermore, the catalyst demonstrates excellent recyclability, retaining 90% of its initial activity after five consecutive cycles. This study provides a viable strategy for developing energy‐efficient heterogeneous catalysts through bimetallic synergy.
MarE, a heme‐dependent aromatic oxygenase with a histidyl axial ligated, catalyzes the monooxygention of ÎČ‐methyl‐L‐tryptophan, to form a 2‐oxindole scaffold central to maremycin biosynthesis. Although structurally similar to tryptophan 2,3‐dioxygenase 
 MarE, a heme‐dependent aromatic oxygenase with a histidyl axial ligated, catalyzes the monooxygention of ÎČ‐methyl‐L‐tryptophan, to form a 2‐oxindole scaffold central to maremycin biosynthesis. Although structurally similar to tryptophan 2,3‐dioxygenase (TDO), which initiates L‐tryptophan catabolism via dioxygenation, MarE exhibits distinct reactivity modulated by ascorbate. While ascorbate has no effect on TDO, it promotes selective monooxygenation by MarE. In its absence, MarE favors dioxygenation and formation of furoindoline‐like products, revealing a latent catalytic versatility. Active‐site loop sequences differ between the two enzymes, SLGGR in MarE versus GTGGS in TDO, prompting loop‐swapping experiments to probe structure‐function relationships. Substituting GTGGS in TDO with MarE‐like sequences (GTGGA or SLGGS) shifted reactivity toward monooxygenation and formation of C3‐hydroxylated, non‐oxindole products that underwent further cyclization into three‐ring structures. Conversely, replacing SLGGR in MarE with GTGGS in enhanced C2,C3‐dioxygenation nearly 4‐fold. These results underscore the active‐site loop as a key determinant of oxidation outcome in addition to ascorbate. demonstrating the critical role of the active site loop in oxidation site preference. By revealing the true catalytic identity of MarE and delineating the roles of small‐molecule effectors and loop architecture, this study advances mechanistic understanding and predictive capabilities within the oxygenase superfamily.

 We report an efficient and stereoselective synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkenes through palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of arylboronate esters with O-alkenyl oxyphosphonium salts. These electrophilic partners are prepared from 1,2-diketones via the Kukhtin-Ramirez reaction followed by O-methylation. The protocol achieves high yields and excellent Z/E selectivity using Pd(OAc)2 with commercially available phosphine ligands, wherein ligand selection enables stereochemical control. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the isomerization of the critical alkenyl-palladium intermediate dictates the product configuration. By integrating Kukhtin-Ramirez chemistry with cross-coupling technology, this methodology establishes a streamlined platform for converting 1,2-diketones into synthetically challenging tetrasubstituted alkenes.

 Abstract The development of sustainable and efficient catalysts featuring palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) is highly sought after. In this context, sodium alginate, a natural polymer, presents a promising eco‐friendly support material for Pd NPs. Thus, this study reports the synthesis of a solid material which consists of sodium alginate beads containing uniformly dispersed Pd NPs (named palladium/copper alginate beads, Pd/CuAB). This material was fully characterized using analytical techniques of ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry (UV–vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP‐OES). It is evaluated as a catalyst in both carbon‐sulfur (C‐S) and carbon‐carbon (C‐C) cross‐coupling reactions. The catalytic system used for the C‐S coupling demonstrated high efficiency and broad compatibility with substrates containing different substituent groups. For the Suzuki–Miyaura C‐C coupling, the catalytic system showed excellent performance with aryl iodides as substrates. However, for aryl bromides, the results suggest that further optimizations are needed to achieve satisfactory reaction yields. Therefore, the Pd/CuAB catalyst showed surprising performance in C‐S coupling and may be among the best described in the literature. In addition, the stability in air, ease of handling and use of sustainably sourced catalytic support are noteworthy points of the Pd/CuAB solid. Based on these results, this study contributes to the advancement of the state‐of‐the‐art of palladium catalysts employing sustainable catalytic supports.

 Step- and atom-economical catalytic C-H silylations were developed to prepare heteroaryl alkoxysilane monomers for silicone materials. The silylations are operable in the presence of 1-3 mol % of a well-defined Rh complex to afford the desired aryl monomers in up to 95% yield. The preformed complexes are able to suppress silane redistribution side reactions so as to improve overall efficiency of less reactive HSiMe(OEt)2. The resulting monomers will broaden the scope of aryl substituents that is currently limited to only phenyl groups, so that various polysiloxanes bearing nonphenyl aryl substituents can be readily prepared with modulating physical and chemical properties.

 A palladium/copper co-catalyzed ipso-alkynylation and ortho-alkylation has been reported. Aromatic halides, including aryl iodides and aryl bromides, can be used as substrates in this reaction. Furthermore, alkyl halides, including alkyl iodides, alkyl bromides, and alkyl chlorides, can be used as alkylation reagents for this approach. Broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance of this platform has been demonstrated in the highly selective ipso-alkynylation and ortho-alkylation. The desired reactions were operated under mild and operationally-practical conditions providing a powerful approach for functionalizing of aryl halides.

 A micellar catalysis that is derived from commercially available saponin for copper‐free, Pd‐catalyzed Sonogashira cross‐coupling under mild reaction conditions has been developed. Using this green and sustainable method, a broad range of aryl/heteroaryl and alkyl terminal alkynes were cross‐coupled with aryl/heteroaryl halides at ambient temperature in an aqueous medium. The commercially available, inexpensive, and plant‐based natural saponin served as a surfactant for a micellar system that effectively enabled C(sp2)‐C(sp) cross‐coupling with a wide range of substrates. The attractive features of this protocol are the use of water as a reaction medium, the in‐situ generation of the micellar‐catalysis system from biodegradable natural saponins, good functional group tolerance, scalability of the products, and notably the ability to retain the catalyst activity by recycling the aqueous reaction medium.

 To accelerate reductive elimination in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC) through secondary interactions with a Buchwald-type ligand, a heptafluorotolyl group was introduced into the ligand's structure, guided by DFT calculations. The resulting ligand, HFTPhos, was effective for SMC, enabling the formation of sterically demanding biaryls. The catalyst loading could be reduced to as low as 0.025 mol % for tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls and 0.001 mol % for tri-ortho-substituted biaryls.

 The [PdCl2(cod)] complex was encapsulated inside a self-assembled hexameric capsule obtained via a reaction of 2,8,14,20-tetra-undecyl-resorcin[4]arene and water. The formation of an inclusion complex was deduced from a combination of spectral measurements (UV-visible, 1H NMR and DOSY spectroscopies). The latter proved effective in the dimerization of styrene derivatives under mild conditions, with a catalyst loading of 0.5 mol% at 60 °C. Electronically enriched vinyl arenes underwent cyclization of the catalytic products, leading to the quasi-quantitative formation of indanes from 4-tert-butylstyrene and 9-vinylanthracene. In the instance of 9-vinylanthracene, the rearrangement product is tribenzo–pentaphene, which is formed in 50% of conversions.

 A simple aryl–aryl bond‐forming reaction via palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling between cheap and easily accessible arene carboxylic acids and aryl thianthrenium trifluoromethanesulfonates is described. It turns out that the use of PdCl 2 in the presence of Ag 2 CO 3 in DMSO at 120 °C is the most efficient system for performing this reaction. Various biaryls, bearing electron‐donating or electron‐withdrawing groups, including sterically hindered biaryls are successfully obtained. The amount of waste generated during this cross‐coupling is minimized since thianthrene obtained as a by‐product can be easily recovered and reused after reaction.

 We report a versatile synthetic method for coupling heteroaryl chlorides and bromides with (hetero)-aryl pinacolboronic esters of pharmaceutical interest at low catalyst loading of a well-defined palladium-NHC catalyst providing products in good to high isolated yield and purity in short reaction time. The method displays remarkably broad applicability with both 5- and 6-membered heterocycles.
