New Discoveries on the -Hydride Elimination

The work presented in Thomas M. Gøgsig''s thesis deals with the discovery of new metal-catalyzed transformations ranging from Kumada-, Heck- and Suzuki-type reactions. The thesis starts with a formidable introduction to Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. New results have been obtained on:
(i) Pd-catalyzed 1,2-migration reactions,
(ii) Pd-catalyzed Heck reactions employing heteroaromatic tosyla...
