Protodepalladation is the redox-neutral conversion of a C–Pd(II) bond into a C–H bond via reaction with a Brønsted acid. It is the microscopic reverse of Pd(II)-mediated C–H cleavage. In the context of catalytic reaction development, protodepalladati... Read More about Protodepalladation as a Strategic Elementary Step in Catalysis.

Small molecules containing cyclopropane-heteroatom linkages are commonly needed in medicinal chemistry campaigns yet are problematic to prepare using existing methods. To address this issue, a scalable Chan-Lam cyclopropylation reaction using potassi... Read More about Copper-Catalyzed Chan–Lam Cyclopropylation of Phenols and Azaheterocycles.
