Facile palladium-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of olefins without external CO gas

An effective Pd-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of olefins with phenyl formate and formic acid is described. A variety of carboxylic acids are obtained in good yields with high regioselectivities under operationally simple conditions without the use of toxic CO gas.

One-pot, solvent-free Pd(II)-catalyzed direct β-C-H arylation of carboxamides involving anhydrides as substrates via in situ installation of directing group

A one-pot, multicomponent-type, solvent-free Pd(II)-catalyzed direct β-C-H activation/arylation of carboxamides involving anhydrides as substrates via in situ installation of directing group (DG) is reported. Typically, the DG-assisted β-C-H activation/ar

Lipase catalysed kinetic resolutions of 3-aryl alkanoic acids

Hydrolase catalysed kinetic resolutions leading to a series of 3-aryl alkanoic acids (≥94% ee) are described. Hydrolysis of the ethyl esters with a series of hydrolases was undertaken to identify biocatalysts that yield the corresponding acids with excellent enantiopurity in each case. Steric and electronic effects on the efficiency and enantioselectivity of the biocatalytic transformation were also explored.
