Nitroxides, also known as nitroxyl radicals, are long-lived or stable radicals with the general
structure R1R2N–O•. The spin distribution over the nitroxide N and O atoms contributes to …

The umpolung strategy encompasses all the methods that make organic molecules react in
an inverse manner compared to their innate polarity-driven reactivity. This concept entered …

Synergistic catalysis is a synthetic strategy wherein both the nucleophile and the
electrophile are simultaneously activated by two separate and distinct catalysts to afford a …

Asymmetric catalytic variants of sunlight-driven photochemical processes hold extraordinary
potential for the sustainable preparation of chiral molecules. However, the involvement of …

The combination of transition metal catalysis and organocatalysis as a new and exciting
research area has attracted increasing attention as it can enable the development of …

This Review describes the application of nitroxides to synthesis and polymer chemistry. The
synthesis and physical properties of nitroxides are discussed first. The largest section …

We report a mild and efficient electrochemical protocol to access a variety of vicinally C–O
and C–N difunctionalized compounds from simple alkenes. Detailed mechanistic studies …

It has been a long time since C–H bond oxidations first attracted chemists' attention. In the
last several decades, C–H bond oxidation has been extensively investigated and applied in …

We describe here a [3+ 3]-type condensation reaction of O-acetyl ketoximes and α, β-
unsaturated aldehydes that is synergistically catalyzed by a copper (I) salt and a secondary …
