Significance

Catellani and co-workers reported a highly regioselective multiple functionalization of iodoarenes via a complex palladium-catalyzed cycle.


#

Comment

The proposed mechanism proceeds through a palladacycle, which is formed from the iodoarene, norbornene, and the palladium catalyst.
