The catalytic activation and subsequent functionalization of CH bonds is an attractive goal
for synthetic chemists, with reactions that employ low catalyst loadings and result in the …

This highlight discusses developments in transition metal-catalysed alkene and alkyne
hydroacylation reactions over the past three years. The discussion summarizes the …

In this review, transition‐metal‐catalyzed intermolecular hydroacylation, which is a direct
synthetic protocol generating ketones from aldehydes and unsaturated hydrocarbons, will …

The use of β-S-substituted aldehydes in rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular hydroacylation
reactions is reported. Aldehydes substituted with either sulfide or thioacetal groups undergo …

The hydroacylation of multiple bonds is a highly versatile reaction that uses abundant
starting materials such as alkenes and aldehydes for the formation of valuable ketone …

Prior examples of hydroacylation to form six-and seven-membered ring ketones require
either embedded chelating groups or other substrate design strategies to circumvent …

Adding benzoic acid and aniline as cocatalysts to the RhI/2‐amino‐3‐picoline catalyzed
hydroacylation of alkenes with aldehydes to give ketones results in a remarkable …

Alkene and alkyne hydroacylation reactions are archetypal examples of simple addition
processes that display excellent atom economy.[1] Both reactions result in the formation of a …

Transition metal catalysis is a powerful means of effecting organic reactions, but it has some
inherent drawbacks, such as the cost of the catalyst and the toxicity of the metals …
