Cyclocarbopalladation as a Key Step in Cascade Reactions: Recent Developments

Dedicated to Professor Armin de Meijere for his great achievements in the field of cyclocarbopalladation in cascade reactions

Abstract

Cascade reactions are step-economical processes for the synthesis of complex molecules as they allow, in one step, the formation of multiple bonds. Over the last two decades cyclocarbopalladation has emerged as a powerful key step when integrated into these sequences and has allowed unprecedented valuable polycyclic scaffolds to be obtained. This review is focused on recent developments in this field including original cascade sequences, novel activation modes (C–H activation for instance) and unprecedented families of substrates.
