Published: April 2014

A novel and highly efficient Pd(0)-catalyzed domino reaction to prepare cyclopropane derivatives has been established. The process involves a Heck-type coupling reaction and a C(sp(3))-H bond activation. Preliminary DFT calculations suggest that a four-membered palladacycle intermediate is involved.
