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 sp2- or sp3-hybridized C,P-palladacycle catalyst.
