This review covers uses of bismuth catalysts since 2005 with a special emphasis on the
emerging applications of such catalysts. Low toxicity, low catalytic loading, synergistic effects …

Bismuth (III) compounds (BiX3, X= Cl, Br, NO3 and OTf etc.) are moisture-and air-tolerant
Lewis acids, which have been widely applied as green catalyst in diverse organic synthesis …

The allylation reaction of carbonyl compounds is well-recognized as one of the most
powerful synthetic tools for fast carbon–carbon bond formation.[1] The enantioselective …

The Lewis acidity of BiX3 (X= Cl, Br, I) is explored using density-functional theory (DFT)
studies of simple complexes with various alcohol and carbonyl substrates. The calculated …

In the direct Mannich reaction and synthesis of α, β-unsaturated ketones, the use of
organobismuth complexes as catalysts leads to high diastereoselectivity and products of …

In this review recent uses of the inexpensive and commercially available bismuth (III) salts in
organic chemistry will be highlighted. Their application to the development of new processes …

A zinc (II) triflate-catalyzed cyclocondensation of ortho-alkynylbenzaldehydes with
arylamines in the presence of base under an oxygen atmosphere affording isoquinolones in …

Several new diorganobismuth (III) compounds based on a butterfly-like tetrahydro-dibenzo
[c, f][1, 5] thiabismocine heterocyclic framework were prepared and structurally …

A Bi (III)-catalyzed method for the synthesis of highly conjugated aromatic multisubstituted
fluorene with (Z)-pent-2-en-4-yl acetates and ethynylarenes via domino reaction is …

Hydroarylation of aryl-substituted alkynes with simple and substituted arenes was conducted
in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane without any metal catalysts or …
