TL;DR: In the presence of a catalytic amount of Me(3)SiOTf and palladium(0), the addition of disilane to alpha, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds proceeds under very mild conditions via eta(3)-siloxyallylpalladium generated by the reaction of enone, enal, or aromatic aldehyde with palladium.

TL;DR: The reaction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, a palladium(0) complex, and Lewis acids led to the formation of a new class of complexes showing a wide variety of structures with η2-type and η3-type coordination of the carbonyls as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a palladium-catalyzed azathiolation of carbon monoxide using sulfenamide (RSNR) was described to provide thiocarbamate 2 in good yields.

TL;DR: In this paper, a region and stereoselective thiocarbamoylation of terminal alkynes was performed using 2,4,5-tri-Cl-C6H2SNEt2 as a reaction substrate and PdCl2(PPh3)2/pPh3/n-Bu4NCl as a catalyst system.

TL;DR: In this article, the colorimetric reduction of the platinum(II) complexes with SmI 2 in the presence of 2-norbornene or COD was used to synthesize the homoleptic olefin Pt(0) complexes.
