While cycloaddition reactions of bicyclobutanes (BCBs) have emerged as a potent method for synthesizing (hetero-)bicyclo[.1.1]alkanes (usually ≤ 3), their utilization in the synthesis of bicyclo[4.1.1]octane derivatives (BCOs) is still underdeveloped. Here, a palladium-catalyzed formal (4 + 3) reaction of BCBs with 1,4-O/C dipole precursors for the synthesis of oxa-BCOs is described. Unlike previous catalytic polar (3 + X) cycloadditions of BCBs, which are typically achieved through the activation of BCB substrates, the current reaction represents a novel strategy for realizing the cycloaddition of BCBs through the activation of the "X" cycloaddition partner. Moreover, the obtained functionalized oxa-BCOs products can be readily modified through various synthetic transformations.

Optically active spirocycles were prepared in a sequence of two palladium-catalyzed reactions. In the first step, racemic α-(-iodophenyl)-β-oxo allyl esters were submitted to the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction, furnishing the α-allylated products with a quaternary stereocenter with good yields and enantioselectivities. Subsequently, these intermediate products were converted in a Heck reaction yielding the spirocyclic structures as a mixture of - and -cyclic regioisomers.

An efficient and highly regioselective palladium-catalyzed oxazoline-directed alkoxylation is reported. The reaction proceeds under air and mild temperatures (60 °C). A series of alcohols can be used as alkoxylating agents and concomitantly act as reaction solvents, whereas primary and secondary alcohols are tolerated.

The palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] decarboxylative cycloaddition of 4-vinyl-4-butyrolactones with sulfamate-derived cyclic imines has been developed, providing the sulfamate-fused pyrrolidine derivatives in high yields with good diastereoselectivities. The scale-up reaction and further derivation of the product worked well, demonstrating the potential application of the current reaction in organic synthesis. A plausible reaction mechanism was also proposed.

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.

Until now, palladium-catalyzed dearomative Heck reactions of indoles were largely limited to β-H elimination and nucleophilic capture of the transient alkyl-Pd(II) species. Herein, we disclose a novel palladium-catalyzed dearomative Heck/C(sp)-H activation/decarboxylative cyclization of C2-tethered indoles. In this protocol, the alkyl-Pd(II) species formed by dearomatization of C2-tethered indoles is not terminated by common β-H elimination or nucleophilic capture, but rather generates ,-palladacycle via C-H activation.
