Annulations of unsaturated systems through C-H activation represent a powerful tool for producing multicyclic scaffolds. Having coordinating centers in both annulation partners (a dual coordination strategy) would afford remarkable selectivities in the outcomes. Along this concept, we report herein a Pd-catalyzed regioselective rollover cascade dual C-H annulation of -arylphenols with alkynols for constructing phenanthrene scaffolds. Control, KIE and deuteration studies were conducted to determine the reaction mechanism, and downstream transformations and scaled-up reactions were carried out to assess the robustness of the transformation.

A palladium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cyclization of 1,6-enynes with unsymmetrical alkynes has been successfully accomplished, resulting in the formation of a series of fused tricyclic hydronaphthofurans with high stereo- and regioselectivity in a single step. This reaction demonstrates 100% atomic economy and exhibits a broad substrate scope.

Pd-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of internal alkynes provides a straightforward access to α,β-disubstituted acrylic esters. Compared with the well-established regioselective alkoxycarbonylation of terminal alkynes, the regioselective hydrocarboxylation of non-functionalized unsymmetric internal alkynes was more challenging owing to the delicate differences of properties between the two substituents. Herein, by using either monophosphine ligand based on 2,3-dihydrobenzo[d][1,3]oxaphosphole motif or bidentate ligand Ph-Phox, the regioselective alkoxycarbonylations of aryl-aryl, aryl-alkyl and alkyl-alkyl disubstituted alkynes were achieved, giving a diversity of trisubstituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters with moderate to excellent yields and high regioselectivity.

The structure-activity relationship between the metal center and regio-selectivity is persistently a pivotal scientific issue. To address this, we select the 2-phenylpyridine sulfonylation reactions catalyzed by ruthenium and palladium as research subjects. An extensive theoretical study has been conducted on their reaction mechanisms, the sources of regio-selectivity, and the evolution of electronic structures.

The increasing popularity of the dihydrouracil motif in cereblon (CRBN) recruiting proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has necessitated the development of a facile, cost-effective, and high-yielding method for its introduction into molecules. To that end, we disclose herein an N-1 selective Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of dihydrouracil with aryl electrophiles to provide access to medicinally relevant scaffolds in a single step. This approach exhibits excellent functional group tolerance and broad applicability to an abundance of (hetero)aryl halides and phenol derivatives and utilizes readily available catalyst/ligand systems.

The synthesis of coumarin- and flavonoid-chalcone hybrids via Pd-catalyzed Heck-type coupling of arene diazonium salts and 8-allylcoumarins and -flavonoids is reported. The β-hydride elimination step proceeds with high regioselectivity if an OMOM-substituent is present at the position C7, adjacent to the allyl group. A selective allylic oxidation of the coupling products was accomplished using DDQ in the presence of silica to furnish the chalcones.
