In this review, we discuss the rich chemistry of helicenes and helicenoids containing main-
group elements. Enantioenriched helicenic derivatives containing main-group elements B …

Helicenes are polycyclic aromatic compounds with nonplanar screw-shaped skeletons
formed by ortho-fused benzene or other aromatic rings. 1, 2 The first helicenes 1 and 2 …

Helicenes have attracted attention as unique inherently chiral three-dimensional aromatic
compounds for several decades. Despite significant recent progress in the synthesis and …

Nitrogen bases containing one or more pushing amino-group (s) directly linked to a pulling
cyano, imino, or phosphoimino group, as well as those in which the pushing and pulling …

Optically active chiral alkyl chlorides are valuable compounds because of their bioactivity
and versatile synthetic utility. Accordingly, the ring opening of epoxides with a chloride …

A new family of chiral pyridines has been designed and synthesized for use in asymmetric
organocatalysis. Thus, helical‐chiral pyridines induce high enantioselectivity in a range of …

Atmospheric pressure field desorption (APFD) mass spectrometry (MS) has recently been
explored as a new contribution to the field of ambient desorption/ionization (ADI) …

Electrospray ionization of uranyl nitrate dissolved in water generates gaseous species
containing either hydroxo− uranyl [UO2 (OH)]+ or nitrato− uranyl [UO2 (NO3)]+ contact ion …

We have developed a methodology for the synthesis of pyridohelicenes and their analogues
based on the Ni0‐, CoI‐or RhI‐mediated intramolecular [2+ 2+ 2] cycloisomerisation of …

Helical indolo [2, 3-k]-and [3, 2-a] phenanthridines were synthesized from amines by amide
formation and Morgan–Walls cyclization. The synthetic routes offer the advantage of late …
