C–H activation has surfaced as an increasingly powerful tool for molecular sciences, with
notable applications to material sciences, crop protection, drug discovery, and …

Secondary phosphine oxides present tautomeric equilibrium between the pentavalent oxide
form (SPO) and the trivalent phosphinous acid (PA). This dichotomy is the origin of the rich …

Abstract The Michaelis–Becker reaction of H-phosphonates with alkyl halides represents an
ideal means for synthesizing alkyl phosphorous compounds. However, the …

Metal complexes of secondary phosphine oxides (SPOs) were introduced as homogeneous
catalysts in the 1980s for hydroformylation and hydrogenation with platinum as the metal. As …

This study reports the environment‐friendly electrochemical transformation of structurally
diverse phosphorus compounds and alcohol into phosphonates in the presence of …

3d-Metal-catalyzed tertiary C (sp3)–H bond activation has been a formidable challenge.
Herein, a tertiary C (sp3)–H bond is smoothly activated by Ni–Al bimetallic catalysts for dual …

A catalyst‐and additive‐free practical and green synthetic strategy for decarboxylative C‐4
phosphorylation of coumarin‐3‐carboxylic acids, for the first time, has been accomplished to …

Photochromic molecules are examples of light-activated bistable molecules. We highlight
the design criteria for a class of ruthenium and osmium sulfoxide complexes that undergo …

Transition metal-catalyzed cleavage and reconstruction of the C–P bond provides a highly
efficient and rapid method for the transformation of organophosphine compounds. In this …

This feature article summarises our recent contributions (2019–2023) in designing and
developing a handful of promising organic transformations for accessing several diversely …
