A palladium-catalyzed Catellani-type [2+2+2] annulation reaction of aryl iodides, bromothiophenes, and norbornadiene, which proceeds via a tandem Heck coupling/double C-H bond activation and retro-Diels-Alder pathway to access thiophene-fused polyaromatics, is reported. The key feature of this protocol represents a NBD/NBE retaining annulation.

Direct cross-coupling reactions between two similar unactivated partners are challenging but constitute a powerful strategy for the creation of new carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. [4]Dendralenes are a class of acyclic branched conjugated oligoenes with great synthetic potential for the rapid generation of structural complexity, yet the chemistry of [4]dendralenes remains an unexplored field due to their limited accessibility. Herein, we report a highly selective palladium-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of two allenes with the presence of a directing olefin in one of the allenes, enabling the facile synthesis of a broad range of functionalized [4]dendralenes in a convergent modular manner.

We have shown that palladium-catalyzed cascade processes provide modular access to rigid quinoline-containing tetracyclic amines. This modular approach enables fine-tuning of the through-space charge transfer (TSCT) state formation between the lone pair localized on the nitrogen atom in the cage moiety and the quinoline moiety by variation of both the intramolecular -aryl distance and quinoline substitution. Decreasing this -aryl distance enhances the formation of the TSCT species, giving control over the emission color and photoluminescence quantum yield.

Transition-metal-catalyzed selective hydroarylation of alkynes represents a state-of-the-art approach in organic chemistry. Herein, we report the reaction of symmetrical 1,3-diynes and arylboronic acids, with Pd(OAc) as the catalyst and PCy as the ligand, affording functionalized enynes in good to excellent yields. Its efficiency is demonstrated by its good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope.
