Palladium ureaka ! Urea palladacycles are introduced to activate alkylidene malonates for nucleophilic attack. The strategic incorporation of palladium on a urea scaffold give rise to urea catalysts with enhanced reactivity when compared to conventional urea and thiourea catalysts. A variety of alkylidene malonates are easily activated with urea palladacycle catalysts giving rise to the corresponding products in high yield (see scheme).
