Removable tridentate directing groups inspired by pincer ligands have been designed to stabilize otherwise kinetically and thermodynamically disfavored 6-membered alkyl palladacycle intermediates. This family of directing groups enables regioselectiv... Read More about Tridentate Directing Groups Stabilize 6-Membered Palladacycles in Catalytic Alkene Hydrofunctionalization.

Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Directed anti-Hydrochlorination of Unactivated Alkynes with HCl (2017)
Journal Article

A regioselective anti-hydrochlorination of unactivated alkynes is reported. The reaction utilizes in situ generated HCl as the source of both the Cl - and H + and is catalyzed by palladium(II) acetate, with loadings as low as 25 ppm. Removable picoli...
