Stereoselective aminopalladation and oxypalladation and their application to the synthesis of natural products.

Stereoselective aminopalladation and oxypalladation are very important approaches for the synthesis of various natural products which contain N- and O-hetero-alicycles. The author has reviewed recent progress of synthesis of natural products using Pd(II)-catalyzed aminopalladation and oxypalladation, including our work within this decade.
