title: Domino carbopalladation-carbonylation: generating quaternary stereocenters while controlling beta-hydride elimination.
abstract: A domino carbopalladation-carbonylation sequence for substrates possessing beta-hydrogens is explored. This allows for the construction of complex architectures with vicinal stereocenters in a concise and rapid fashion via the stereocontrolled formation of two carbon-carbon bonds. An integral aspect of this domino reaction is the ability to control beta-hydride elimination of the organopalladium intermediate and instead form the carbonylation product.
