In contrast to the well-studied 1-vinylcyclobu- tanols, the reactivity of 3-vinylazetidin-3-ols 1 and 3- vinyloxetan-3-ols 2 under transition metal catalysis remains largely unexplored. We report herein their unique reactivity under dual palladium and acid ...
Peripheral functionalization of a quaternary carbon via C(sp 3)−H bond activation has made significant progress in recent years. However, direct editing of a quaternary carbon through Csp 3 −Csp 3 bond cleavage and refunctionalization of nonstrained acycli ...
This dissertation addresses two research themes in modern organic synthesis. The first topic explores the development of new reactions enabled by Pd(IV)-involved catalytic cycles. The second theme investigates the synthetic studies towards total synthesis ...
Benzocyclobutenes (BCBs) are highly valuable compounds in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. However, catalytic modular synthesis of functionalized BCBs from easily accessible starting materials remains limited. We report herein ...
