1,3-Dienes are easily accessible chemicals that participate in a series of reactions acting on the carbon–carbon double bonds. Catalytic difunctionalization of 1,3-dienes provides a wide scope of functionalized chemicals. Pd(0) catalysts provide a diverse set of principles for the creation of asymmetric catalytic reactions, which are initiated with the oxidative addition and then undergo insertion reaction with one of double bonds of the 1,3-diene to become a π-allyl palladium species that is reactive toward nucleophilic attack. This review summarizes typical advances on the Pd(0)-catalyzed difunctionalization of 1,3-dienes in recent decades, particularly emphasizing the concepts that enable the switch from a racemic reaction to an enantioselective version.1 Introduction2 Amination3 Boration4 Carbonation5 Hydrogenation6 Oxygenation7 Silylation8 Conclusion and Outlook
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
