The palladium-catalyzed chemoselective carbonylation of bromoaryl triflates is reported. The selective C?Br bond versus C?OTf (OTf=triflate) bond functionalization can be remarkably tuned by the combination of the ligand [4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (Xantphos) vs. 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (DPPF)] and the solvent (toluene vs. DMSO). The respective ligand and solvent effects are rationalized by DFT calculations. In contrast, the monodentate ligands BuPAd2 and tBu3P prefer the selective C?Br bond activation and are solvent insensitive.
Rhodium-catalyzed oxidative amidation of allylic alcohols and aldehydes: Effective conversion of amines and anilines into amides

The rhodium-catalyzed oxidative amidation of allylic alcohols and aldehydes is reported. In situ generated [(BINAP)Rh]BF4 catalyzes the one-pot isomerization/oxidative amidation of allylic alcohols or direct amidation of aldehydes using acetone or styrene as the hydrogen acceptor. The conditions are general, affording good to excellent yields with a wide array of amine and aniline nucleophiles, and chemoselective, other alcohols do not participate in the oxidation reaction. Utilization of biphasic conditions is critical, as they promote an equilibrium between the imine/enamine byproducts and the hemiaminal, which can undergo oxidation to the amide.
