3-Fluoropyrroles are privileged scaffolds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications, yet their synthesis remains challenging. Herein, we report a palladium(0)-catalyzed [4+1] cycloaddition/dehydration strategy for the efficient construction of 3-fluoropyrroles from readily available 3,3-difluoropent-4-en-2-ones and primary amines. This transformation proceeds via C-F bond activation to generate a key π-allyl-Pd(II) intermediate, followed by intramolecular addition/dehydration to furnish the heterocyclic core. The method features broad substrate compatibility, mild conditions, and scalability, enabling access to diverse 3-fluoropyrroles that are otherwise difficult to synthesize. This work provides a practical and versatile platform for the discovery of fluorinated pyrrole-based bioactive molecules.

A dearomative 1,4-hydroamination of nonactivated arenes has been developed, using a key arene-arenophile photocycloaddition strategy to disrupt aromaticity. Palladium catalysis with K-Selectride as a hydride source uniquely enables selective reactivity and provides access to a range of substituted 1,4-cyclohexadienes from aromatic starting materials. We demonstrate a few synthetic applications of this scalable procedure by preparing highly-functionalized small molecules in three to four steps from naphthalene.

The title palladium complex, [Pd(CHN)(CHP)], was isolated as an impurity that co-eluted with the organic product of a palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group 2/ with one half of the complex in the asymmetric unit. The palladium atom (site symmetry ) has a square-planar geometry with phosphine ligands.

A novel palladium-catalyzed asymmetric aminomethylative pyridonation of conjugated dienes with -acetals and 2-hydroxypyridines was established, which provided a direct and reliable method for the synthesis of a wide range of γ-aminated N-substituted 2-pyridones with good to excellent enantioselectivities. The simple BF was identified as an effective cocatalyst to improve the reaction efficiency, and DFT calculations revealed that proton transfer between the aminomethylated allylic palladium species and 2-hydroxypyridine promoted by BF is crucial for obtaining good reactivity.

We herein report a palladium-catalyzed dearomative Heck/C(sp)-H activation/[4 + 2] decarboxylative cyclization of C2-tethered indoles. In this transformation, the alkylpalladium(II) species generated by indole dearomatization undergoes C-H activation to form ,-palladacycles, which are subsequently trapped by -bromobenzoic acids or cyclic β-bromoacrylic acids, enabling regio- and diastereoselective construction of hexacyclic and octocyclic fused indolines with a broad substrate scope.

A palladium-catalyzed cyclization and carbonylation of -propargylamides with amines has been developed, which incorporates an amide unit into 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2)-one scaffolds. By using benzene-1,3,5-triyl triformate (TFBen) as the safe and convenient CO source, the reaction proceeded smoothly to afford a variety of amide-containing 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2)-one derivatives in high yields.
