An enantioselective [5+ 2] cycloaddition of vinylethylene carbonates and α-diazoketones
was achieved for the first time by merging photoactivation and asymmetric Pd catalysis. The …

Given the large amount of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, it is advantageous to use CO2 as
feedstock for the fabrication of everyday products, such as fuels and materials. An attractive …

The first enantioselective formal [5+ 4] cycloaddition is realized under palladium catalysis to
deliver benzofuran-fused nine-membered rings. These medium-sized heterocycles and …

Abstract The first catalytic formal [5+ 4] cycloaddition to prepare nine‐membered
heterocycles is presented. Under palladium catalysis, the reaction of N‐tosyl azadienes and …

A remaining challenge in the synthetic chemistry field is formation of all-carbon quaternary
centers, a feature found in many natural products, particularly in spirocycle systems. 1 …
