Studies on the Pd-catalyzed dimerization of silacyclobutanes (2015)
Journal Article
Aborways, M., & Moran, W. (2015). Studies on the Pd-catalyzed dimerization of silacyclobutanes. Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 797, 57-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jorganchem.2015.07.040

Dimerization of silacyclobutanes has been achieved under palladium catalysis at room temperature. A previous report described the requirement for high temperature and a stoichiometric amount of palladium complex to effect this process.

Iodoarene-catalyzed cyclizations of unsaturated amides (2015)
Journal Article
Moran, W., Alhalib, A., & Kamouka, S. (2015). Iodoarene-catalyzed cyclizations of unsaturated amides. Organic Letters, https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.orglett.5b00333

The cyclization of N-alkenylamides catalyzed by iodoarenes under oxidative conditions is presented. Five-, six-, and seven-membered rings with a range of substitutions can be prepared by this route. Preliminary data from the use of chiral iodoarenes... Read More about Iodoarene-catalyzed cyclizations of unsaturated amides.
