ConspectusAromatic esters are cost-effective, versatile, and commonly used scaffolds that are readily synthesized or encountered as synthetic intermediates. While most conventional reactions involving these esters are nucleophilic acyl substitutions or 1,2-nucleophilic additions─where a nucleophile attacks the carbonyl group, decarbonylative transformations offer an alternative pathway by using the carbonyl group as a leaving group. This transition-metal-catalyzed process typically begins with oxidative addition of the C(acyl)-O bond to the metal.

A palladium-promoted Mizoroki-Heck type reaction employing a directing-group strategy to efficiently produce the coupled vinyl cyclopentenes with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity is reported. Typically, a Pd-catalyzed reaction of 2-(cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)--tosylacetamide () with ()-styryl bromides gave -2-(()-styryl)cyclopent-3-en-1-yl--tosylacetamide (), an allylic substitution product. Interestingly, we have found that the ,-stereochemistry of vinylic substrates is inverted in those products.

A simple and modular approach toward bis-heterocyclic spirocycles using palladium catalysis is reported. The enclosed methodology leverages a Mizoroki-Heck-type reaction to generate a neopentylpalladium species. This species can undergo intramolecular C-H activation on a wide array of (hetero)aryl C-H bonds, generating a variety of [4.

A palladium-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck-type cyclization/Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling cascade of diarylmethyl carbonates with arylboronic acid derivatives has been developed to deliver the corresponding 1,2-disubstituted indanes in good yields with high diastereoselectivity (/ > 20:1). The key to achieve the high chemoselectivity and stereoselectivity is the use of the tris[3,5-di(-butyl)-4-methoxyphenyl]phosphine (DTBMP) ligand of remote steric hindrance. Moreover, the asymmetric synthesis is possible by the enantiospecific, stereoinvertive reaction of the optically active starting substrates to form the chiral indanes with high stereochemical fidelity (>98% es).

The catalytic construction of C-C bonds between organohalide or pseudohalide electrophiles and fundamental building blocks such as alkenes, arenes, or CO are widely utilized metal-catalyzed processes. The use of simple, widely available unactivated alkyl halides in these catalytic transformations has significantly lagged behind the use of aryl or vinyl electrophiles. This difference is primarily due to the relative difficulty of activating alkyl halides with transition metals under mild conditions.
