Metal-catalyzed cascade processes based on hydrofunctionalization of alkynes are receiving much more attention because their potential to provide advantageous approaches otherwise synthetically challenging compounds. An alternative catalyst system has been found for the domino cycloisomerization/cyclocondensation reaction involving acetylenic acids and heterodinucleophiles. A CNN pincer palladi...

An efficient and general palladium-catalyzed coupling of 3-chloro-quinoxalinones with a variety of nitrogen-containing nucleophiles such as (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic amides as well as some challenging weakly nucleophilic nitrogen compounds including lactams, carbamates and NH-containing azoles is described. In all cases, the reactions take place rapidly and cleanly in dioxane using Pd(OAc)...

An efficient one-pot synthesis of the cis-pyridylimine palladium (II) complexes is reported. The compo- sition and structure were proved by NMR, IR, X-ray, elemental analysis. monoamine oxidase inhibition activity synthesized complexes, including six previously unknown, inves- tigated on native mouse brains. Some compounds: cis-dichlorido-2,6-dimethyl-N- ((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)anilinepalladiu...

The palladium-catalyzed dimerization of isoprene is a practical approach of synthesizing monoterpenes. Though several highly selective methods have been reported, most of them still required pressure or costly ligands for attaining the active system and desired selectivity. Herein, we present a simple and economical procedure towards the tail-to-tail dimer using readily available Pd(OAc)2 and i...

The electrochemical reduction of pelleted heterophase powder Pd-Nd2O3-CeO2 mixtures was studied in molten LiCl-Li2O (1–1.5 wt%) at 650 °C. influence the composition mixture, as well factors—i.e., amount electricity passed and cathode potential during electrolysis—were considered. It found that presence metallic palladium, neodymium cerium oxides are reduced by lithium released form intermetalli...
