title: Synthesis of chiroptical molecular switches by pd-catalyzed domino reactions.
abstract: New photochromic switches based on helical alkenes can quickly and efficiently be accessed by Pd-catalyzed domino reactions using a modular approach; this allows a wide variability in product formation with the advantages of a convergent synthetic route. The alkenes have been synthesized in excellent enantioselectivity and their switching properties assessed by stimulation with nanosecond laser pulses at two different wavelengths in over 1000 switching cycles.
