Abstract

In this account, we describe the use of highly activated olefins for palladium-catalyzed reactions. Particularly noteworthy is the creation of new processes using such activated olefins and the efficiency of those processes in building carbon-carbon and ­carbon-heteroatom bonds under relatively mild conditions. This ­account is aimed at creating awareness among organic chemists about the use of highly activated olefins in catalytic reactions.
