A highly regioselective Pd-catalyzed carboxyl directed decarboxylative ortho-C-H halogenation of cheap o-nitrobenzoic acids with NaX (X = I, Br) under aerobic conditions has been established. The utility of the method has been demonstrated by the gram-scale reaction and derivatization of the product. Experimental results have confirmed Pd and Bi played critical roles in the transformation and indicated the transformation might proceed via 2-halo-6-nitrobenzoic acid derivative intermediate.

Euphorbialoid A () belongs to the rare diterpenoid family of premyrsinanes and exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects. The 5/7/6/3-membered carbocycle (ABCD-ring) of contains 11 contiguous stereocenters and seven oxygen-containing functional groups. Moreover, four of the six hydroxy groups of are concentrated in the southern sector and flanked by four structurally different acyl groups.

A direct and convenient strategy for the assembly of indolo[1,2-]phenanthridine a Pd-catalyzed tandem cyclization reaction is presented. The current strategy delivers a range of indolo[1,2-]phenanthridine derivatives by utilizing readily available 1-(2-iodophenyl)-1-indole and commercially available -bromobenzoic acids as the starting materials. The reaction features the formation of two C-C bonds through Pd-catalyzed C-H bond activation and decarboxylation.

Herein, we report a mild palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of allyl ester-substituted isoindolinone substrates to afford a variety of 3,3-disubstituted isoindolinone derivatives. The decarboxylative coupling reaction tolerates a range of functional groups, including ketones and alkenyl halides, and does not require protection of the isoindolinone nitrogen. Additionally, the reaction was found to proceed in near-quantitative yield for most substrates evaluated.

Pd-catalyzed stereoselective glycosylations using unsaturated sugar derivatives, glycals, have been successfully achieved in recent years. This review focuses on approaches to control the stereoselectivities of glycosides via π-allyl intermediates that mimic the Tsuji-Trost asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions, enabling stereoselectivity control through rational design. In the reaction process, zwitterionic Pd-π-allyl complexes, formed after the oxidative addition and decarboxylation, play a crucial role in increasing reactivities and enhancing the stereoselectivities of α- and β-glycosides.

A library of 2,5-furan-based phenylene/thiophene oligomers were synthesized starting from 5-bromofurfural, a derivative of biomass-derived furfural. Varied electronic groups are coupled onto the furan motif, followed by the installation of a phenylene or thiophene central linker through a one-pot Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling reaction. Resulting oligomers containing the furan-phenylene-furan core possess high photoluminescent quantum yields in solution (83-98%), which are crucial for optoelectronic devices.
