, p. 4887 - 4888 (2005)
The preparation of a ketone from a phosphorane and a nitrile is described. The workup conditions are mild, and the yields are high. The unreacted starting materials can easily be recovered.
Rhodium-Catalyzed Remote Isomerization of Alkenyl Alcohols to Ketones

We develop herein an efficient rhodium-catalyzed remote isomerization of aromatic and aliphatic alkenyl alcohols into ketones. This catalytic process, with a commercially available catalyst and ligand ([RhCl(cod)]2 and Xantphos), features high efficiency, low catalyst loading, good functional group tolerance, a broad substrate scope, and no (sub)stoichiometric additive. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that this transformation involves an iterative dissociative β-hydride elimination-migration insertion process.
Palladium/NHC (NHC = N-Heterocyclic Carbene)-Catalyzed B-Alkyl Suzuki Cross-Coupling of Amides by Selective N-C Bond Cleavage
Meng, Guangrong,Szostak, Michal

A highly chemoselective, palladium-NHC (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene)-catalyzed, direct cross-coupling between B-sp3-alkyl reagents and activated amides by N-C(O) cleavage is reported. Palladium-NHC precatalysts promote chemoselective alkylations of amides that are inaccessible by applying strong organometallic reagents. Various amides, including challenging primary amides after direct and site-selective N,N-di-Boc activation, are compatible with this method. The potential of this mild protocol is demonstrated in sequential C(sp2)-C(sp2)/C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross-couplings deploying a di-Boc amide derived from a common primary amide bond. The method provides a rare example of air- and moisture-stable, well-defined, and highly reactive Pd-NHC precatalysts in B-alkyl-Suzuki cross-couplings.
