Abstract

The search for efficient synthetic procedures for natural products, drugs, and materials with economical and ecological advantages is an important area of current interst in synthetic organic chemistry. We have made an attempt to summarize the progress made in this area since 2005. This article describes the syntheses of several natural products and drugs that employ multiple palladium-catalyzed processes in either a sequential or a domino fashion.
