In this review, synthetic and mechanistic aspects of key methodologies that exploit C–C
single-bond cleavage of strained ring systems are highlighted. The focus is on transition …

The transition-metal-catalyzed “cut and sew” transformation has recently emerged as a
useful strategy for preparing complex molecular structures. After oxidative addition of a …

Conventional organic synthesis has been mainly based upon the reactivities of π-bonds and
polar σ-bonds. Carbon–carbon single bonds are nonpolar and generally far less reactive …

A general strategy for the cleavage and amination of C− C bonds of cycloalkanols has been
achieved through visible‐light‐induced photoredox catalysis utilizing a cerium (III) chloride …

We describe a synergistic utilization of cerium photocatalysis and photoinduced electron
transfer catalysis that enables an atom-and step-economical ring expansion of readily …

The first example of intermolecular olefination of cyclobutanone oximes with alkenes via
selective C− C bond cleavage leading to the synthesis of nitriles in the presence of a cheap …

This review classifies and summarizes the past 10–15 years of advancements in the field of
metal-involving (ie, metal-mediated and metal-catalyzed) reactions of oximes. These …

C− C bond activation has emerged as an increasingly useful approach for constructing
complex molecular scaffolds through unusual bond-disconnection strategies. As a common …
