Molecular syntheses largely rely on time‐and labour‐intensive prefunctionalization
strategies. In contrast, C− H activation represents an increasingly powerful approach that …

Hydride complexes of copper, silver, and gold encompass a broad array of structures, and
their distinctive reactivity has enabled dramatic recent advances in synthesis and catalysis …

Asymmetric transition-metal catalysis has had a far-reaching impact on chemical synthesis.
However, non-precious metal-catalysed strategies that provide direct entry to compounds …

Direct catalytic modifications of carbon–hydrogen (CH) bonds, ubiquitous in organic
molecules, represent a powerful strategy in organic synthesis. In the past decade, chemists …

Despite the importance of enantioenriched alcohols in medicinal chemistry, total synthesis,
and materials science, the efficient and selective construction of enantioenriched tertiary …

Annulated pyridones are an important scaffold found in many biologically active compounds.
A Ni (0)-catalyzed C–H functionalization of 2-and 4-pyridones is disclosed, providing access …

Reported is a highly enantioselective copper‐catalyzed Markovnikov protoboration of
unactivated terminal alkenes. A variety of simple and abundant feedstock α‐olefins bearing …

A series of symmetrical imidazolinium chloride salts bearing secondary N-alkyl substituents
were synthesized in good yield by the reaction of N, N′-dialkylethane-1, 2-diamines and …

The nickel-catalyzed enantioselective redox-neutral coupling of alcohols and alkynes to
access chiral allylic alcohols is reported. The reaction proceeds via a hydrogen transfer …

The asymmetric functionalization of C− H bond is a particularly valuable approach for the
production of enantioenriched chiral organic compounds. Chiral N‐heterocyclic carbene …
