The Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketones gives access to cyclopentenones. Replacing one of the vinyl groups by a cyclopropane leads to a formal homo-Nazarov process for the synthesis of cyclohexenones. In contrast to the Nazarov reaction, the cyclization of vinyl-cyclopropyl

1,2,3,4-Tetramethyl-bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (TMNBD, for tetramethylnorbornadiene) has been prepared and used successfully as an acetylene equivalent in the synthesis of substituted cyclopentenones. TMNBD is easily accessible on a multigram scale and displays excellent reactivity toward the intermolecular Pauson-Khand reaction. Conjugate additions on

Palladium-phosphinous acids catalyze the conjugate addition of arylsiloxanes to a wide range of alpha,beta-unsaturated substrates in water. A microwave-assisted procedure is described that uses 5 mol % of POPd1 to afford beta-substituted ketones, aldehydes, esters, nitriles, and nitroalkanes in 83%
