Conspectus The implementation of any chemical reaction in a structurally complex setting
(King, SMJ Org. Chem. 2014, 79, 8937) confronts structurally defined barriers: steric …

The term all-carbon quaternary stereocentre refers to a chiral carbon atom featuring four
different carbon substituents. Such structural motifs are prominent in natural products, drugs …

Due to its mild reaction conditions and unique chemoselectivity, hydrogen atom transfer
(HAT) hydrogenation represents an indispensable method for the synthesis of complex …

Herein, we report the redox-neutral allylation of aldehydes with readily available electron-
rich allyl (hetero-) arenes, β-alkyl styrenes and allyl-diarylamines. This process was enabled …

Robust synthetic methods that show a broad substrate scope are of great utility in the
synthesis of complex organic molecules. Within this arena, synthetic methods that employ …

The metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) reaction plays an important role in the
field of natural product synthesis. MHAT, as a powerful method, has been employed by …

As has been well-recognized, semipinacol rearrangement functions as an exceptionally
useful methodology in the synthesis of β-functionalized ketones, creation of quaternary …

Daphnezomines A and B are structurally unusual Daphniphyllum alkaloids that contain a
unique aza-adamantane core skeleton. Herein, a modular approach to these alkaloids is …

A hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)-initiated Dowd–Beckwith rearrangement reaction was
developed, which enables the efficient assembly of diversely functionalized polyquinane …
