We report the development of ureas as sterically undemanding pro-ligands for Pd catalysis. -Arylureas outperform phosphine ligands for the Pd-catalyzed heteroannulation of -tosyl--bromoanilines and 1,3-dienes, engaging diverse coupling partners for the preparation of 2-subsituted indolines, including sterically demanding substrates that have not previously been tolerated. Experimental and computational studies on model Pd-urea and Pd-ureate complexes are consistent with monodentate binding through the nonsubstituted nitrogen, which is uncommon for metal-ureate complexes.

Aromatic polycyclic systems have been extensively utilized as structural subunits for the preparation of various functional molecules. Currently, aromatics-based polycyclic systems are predominantly generated from the extension of two-dimensional (2D) aromatic rings. In contrast, polycyclic compounds based on the extension of three-dimensional (3D) aromatics such as boron clusters are less studied.

A Pd-catalyzed heteroannulation approach for the synthesis of C2 borylated indoles is reported. The process allows access to highly functionalized 2-borylated indole scaffolds with complete control of regioselectivity. The utility of the process is demonstrated in the synthesis of borylated sulfa drugs and in the concise synthesis of the alkaloid Goniomitine.

A modular approach to prepare tri- and tetracyclic carbazoles by a sequential [3 + 2]heteroannulation is described. First, optimization of Pd-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig amination followed by C/N-arylation in a one-pot process is established. Second, mechanistic analyses identified the origins of chemo- and regioselective sequential control of both bond-forming steps.

Enantioselective Total Syntheses of (-)-Rhazinilam, (-)-Leucomidine B, and (+)-Leuconodine F.

A divergent total synthesis of three structurally distinct natural products from imine 9 was accomplished through an approach featuring: 1) a Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling, and 2) heteroannulation of 9 with bromoacetaldehyde and oxalyl chloride to give tetrahydroindolizine 6 and dioxopyrrole 7, respectively. The former was converted into (-)-rhazinilam, while the latter was converted into (-)-leucomidine B and (+)-leuconodine F. A substrate-directed highly diastereoselective reduction of a sterically unbiased double bond by using a homogeneous palladium catalyst was developed.
