Umpolung coupling of pyridine-2-carboxaldehydes and propargylic carbonatesviaN-heterocyclic carbene/palladium synergetic catalysis
The umpolung cross-coupling reaction of pyridine-2-carboxaldehydes and propargylic carbonates has been developed for the first time through N-heterocyclic carbene/palladium cooperative catalysis with the judicious selection of the palladium catalyst, ligand and N-heterocyclic carbene, giving the propargylic ketones regioselectively.

Efficient synthesis of maleimides and carbazoles via Zn(OTf) 2-catalyzed tandem annulations of Lsonitriles and allenic esters
Lewis acid Zn(OTf)2-catalyzed tandem annulations of isonitriles and allenic esters which lead to efficient and flexible syntheses of a range of biologically significant maleimides and carbazoles and related compounds are reported. A mechanistic rationale is proposed to account for the observed reactivity.
