The title compound, [Pd(C2H3O2)(C18H15P)(C12H11N2O)]·CH2Cl2, crystallizes readily from a mixture of di­chloro­methane and light petroleum. The structure is one of few examples of palladacycles that incorporate the N-substituent in five-membered-ring heterocycles [Nonoyama & Nakajima (1998). Polyhedron, 18, 533–543].

A C-H activating Pd-catalysed alkenylation of indole is regiospecific for 2-substitution when the nitrogen carries a 2-pyridylmethyl substituent.

N,N-Disubstituted α-aminonitriles undergo Bruylants reaction under Barbier and Reformatsky conditions with activated halides, in the presence of zinc and 10 mol% HOAc. The high yields and the simple operational conditions make this reaction an appealing, approach to N,N-disubstituted homoallylamines and β-aminoesters.

A straightforward procedure for the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of alpha-hydrazino ketones is described. Manganese enolates and manganese enamines derived from ketones and from the corresponding N-sulfinylimines react with azodicarboxylate esters (DTBAD and DEAD) in a regioselective fashion to afford in good to excellent yields the kinetic alpha-hydrazino ketones as sole or highly prevalent products. When enantiopure N-sulfinyl manganese enamines were used the stereoselectivity of these reactions ranged from 40% to 68% ee.
