Abstract Highly enantioselective [3+ 3] and [3+ 4] annulations of isatin‐derived enals with
ethynylethylene carbonates and ethynyl benzoxazinanones are enabled by NHC/cooper …

This first review on this topic focuses on the developments in the chemistry of Pd-catalyzed
multi-component reactions (MCRs). MCRs are generally atom economic, ideal and eco …

Lewis acid activation with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has presented new
opportunities for enantioselective reaction development. Recent findings illustrate that Lewis …

An efficient enantioselective approach to form trans-γ-lactams in up to 99% yield, 93% ee,
