A very straightforward synthesis of (IPr)Pd(acac)Cl from two commercially available starting materials,Pd(acac)_2 and IPr centre dot HCl [acac = acetylacetonate;IPr = N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene],has been developed.The resulting complex,(IPr)Pd(acac)Cl (1),has ...
A highly diastereoselective aldol reaction between 3-fluorooxindoles and aromatic aldehydes has been developed. Commercially available, cheap Lewis acid MgBr2 (OEt2)-O-center dot was used to promote the reaction. The reaction has a broad substrate scope with respect to both 3-fluorooxindoles and ...
