Recent advances in the transition-metal-catalyzed regioselective approaches to polysubstituted benzene derivatives

Abstract

An overview is given on the transition-metal-catalyzed regiospecific approaches to polysubstituted benzene derivatives from three alkyne molecules or two alkynes and one alkene, the latter with subsequent elimination or oxidation. The metals considered include nickel, rhodium, cobalt, ruthenium, and, in particular, palladium.
