✦ Synopsis
New developments in the reduction of b,d-diketo-sulfoxides, a reaction that affords important key intermediates for total synthesis, are described. We showed without ambiguity using NMR experiments, that the b-carbonyl group is totally enolised. This result is inconsistent with the previous hypothesis, which supposed the other tautomer (enolisation at the d-position) as the major one. We propose a rationale to explain the side reactions occurring during the reduction of unprotected b,d-diketo-sulfoxides and showed that judicious protection of the d-carbonyl group gave all diastereoisomers of b-hydroxy-d-ketosulfoxides.

A series of acyclic and cyclic Q-unsaturated esters bearing tethered mesylate leaving groups have been electrochemically reduced to give synthetically useful yields of monocyclic and bicyclic esters via attack of the p-carbon of the a&unsaturated ester on the carbon bearing the mesylated moiety.
## Abstract Two‐coordinate Pd(0) complexes are shown to be important intermediates in the telomerization of 1,3‐dienes and CO~2~ using palladium/phosphine catalysts without additives. Only one phosphorus atom is bound to palladium during the C–C bond forming steps, but the second phosphorus atom is
