Abstract
The palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of carbonyl-type compounds is a relatively emerging field within the cross-coupling arena. In recent years, these processes have experienced an exponential growth, particularly in the development of enantioselective variants of these reactions. Beyond any reasonable doubt, palladium-catalyzed α-arylation reactions represent a straightforward alternative to the classical synthesis of α-aryl carbonyl-type compounds that oftentimes involves time-consuming and economically inefficient steps. This review summarizes the last developments in the last 5 years, hence providing a general overview of the current state of the art for palladium-catalyzed α-arylation processes.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
