Studies on the Pd-catalyzed dimerization of silacyclobutanes (2015)

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

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.
