With their mechanistic novelty and various modalities of reactivity, transition metal
unsaturated carbene (alkenylidene) complexes have emerged as versatile intermediates for …

The ability of platinum and gold catalysts to effect powerful atom‐economic transformations
has led to a marked increase in their utilization. The quite remarkable correlation of their …

Known for over a century, reactions that involve intramolecular hydride‐transfer events have
experienced a recent resurgence. Undoubtedly responsible for the increased interest in this …

Platin‐und Goldkatalysatoren gewinnen aufgrund ihrer hohen Effizienz und erstaunlichen
Vielfalt für atomökonomische Umsetzungen rasch an Bedeutung. Dabei erlaubt es die …

Indanes and indenes are among the most important carbocycles. Many indane and indene
derivatives have shown important pharmacological activities, and the indane and indene …

Chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric C− H functionalization has been achieved. In
this process, enantiotopic C (sp3)− hydrogen is selectively activated by chiral phosphoric …

Abstract The cascade [1, n]‐hydrogen transfer/cyclization, recognized one century ago, has
received considerable interest in recent decades and great achievements have been made …

Selectivity is golden: The first asymmetric redox-neutral domino reaction catalyzed by gold
that results in the direct functionalization of unreactive sp (3) CH bonds has been reported …

Described herein are two novel types of double C (sp3)–H bond functionalizations triggered
by a sequential hydride shift/cyclization process:(1) construction of a bicyclo [3.2. 2] nonane …

The reaction of 2-alkynyl-1-methylene azide aromatics 1 with iodine and/or other iodium
donors, such as the Barluenga reagent (Py2IBF4/HBF4) and NIS, gave highly substituted …
