TL;DR: Direct iodination of estradiol, estriol, and estrone using iodine–copper(II) acetate in acetic in acid afforded the 2-iodo-derivatives regioselectively in high yield.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of α- and β-1-3-η-type π-allylpalladium complexes with AcOK yielded products resulting from trans-attack on the side opposite to the co-ordinated palladium, while reaction of olefins with PdCl2CuCl2-AcOK/AcOH afforded products arising from cis-attack.

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction of thujopsene and 2-and 3-carenes with palladium(II) chloride in the presence of potassium acetate in acetic acid has been shown to yield π-allylpalladium complexes in good yields without opening of the cyclopropane ring.

TL;DR: Direct iodination of estradiol, estriol, and estrone using iodine–copper(II) acetate in acetic in acid afforded the 2-iodo-derivatives regioselectively in high yield.
