Abstract

This account focuses on our work in palladium/norbornene-catalyzed selective ortho-arylation and ortho-acylation of aryl halides. It will discuss our synthetic plan, initial design and revised strategy in the enantioselective synthesis of the rhazinal family of natural products. It also shows our efforts on the α-acylation reaction by the cleavage of various C(O)–X bonds, along with some mechanistic studies.
