Abstract β‐Keto amides are a versatile class of compounds that find wide applications in
organic chemistry owing to the juxtaposition of multiple reaction sites within their molecular …

Carbonyls and amines are yin and yang in organocatalysis as they mutually activate and
transform each other. These intrinsically reacting partners tend to condense with each other …

The α‐hydroxy‐β‐dicarbonyl motif is essential in many biologically active compounds,
sparking significant interest in their synthesis. This review comprehensively examines the …

A series of cinchona-derived N-oxide asymmetric phase-transfer catalysts were synthesized
and applied in the enantioselective photo-organocatalytic α-hydroxylation of β-keto esters …

A unified catalytic asymmetric (N+ 1)(N= 4, 5) annulation reaction of oxindoles with
bifunctional peroxides has been achieved in the presence of a chiral phase‐transfer catalyst …

An efficient and enantioselective photo-organocatalytic α-hydroxylation of β-dicarbonyl
compounds using molecular oxygen was extended. This simple catalytic procedure is …

The electrochemically induced cross-dehydrogenative C–O coupling of β-diketones and β-
ketoesters (C–H reagents) with carboxylic acids (O–H reagents) was developed. An …

An I2-catalyzed hydroxylation of β-dicarbonyl moieties using air as the oxidant under
photoirradiation has been developed for the easy preparation of α-hydroxy-β-dicarbonyl …

The highly catalytic asymmetric α‐hydroxylation of 1‐tetralone‐derived β‐keto esters and β‐
keto amides using tert‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant was realized by a chiral …

The lanthanide-catalyzed oxidative C–O coupling of 1, 3-dicarbonyl compounds with diacyl
peroxides, specifically the cyclic malonyl peroxides, has been developed. An important …
