Recent Developments in Pd0-Catalyzed Alkene-Carboheterofunctionalization Reactions

This Focus Review summarizes recent developments in palladium-catalyzed alkene carboalkoxylation and carboamination reactions. New synthetic methods that have been reported within the past four years are described, along with mechanistic insights and the influence of reaction mechanism on product stereochemistry. The applications of these transformations to the synthesis of natural products and other biologically relevant compounds are also discussed.
