This review describes the synthesis and reactivity studies of early metal (Sc, Y, Ti, Zr, Hf, V,
Nb, Ta) hydride compounds that have appeared over the last 10 years. Every attempt has …

An investigation of the use of Cp2Zr (H) Cl (Schwartz's reagent) to reduce a variety of
amides to the corresponding aldehydes under very mild reaction conditions and in high …

Hydrozirconation of various C= X functionalities with Schwartz's reagent is a powerful
method for preparing functionalized organic molecules, for instance aldehydes, amines, and …

Functional group manipulations continue to play an important role in organic synthesis, and
hence the development of new methods to carry out these transformations remains an …

A catalytic enantioselective β‐O‐elimination reaction is reported in the form of a zirconium‐
catalyzed asymmetric opening of meso‐ketene acetals. Furthermore, a regiodivergent β‐O …

Different types of cyclic phosphine oxides, such as tetrahydrophosphole oxide 1,
phosphabicyclo [3.1. 0] hexane 3-oxide 8 and phosphabicyclo [2.2. 1] heptene 7-oxides 10 …

A zirconium catalyzed reductive cleavage of Csp3 and Csp2 carbon–heteroatom bonds is
reported that makes use of a tethered alkene functionality as a traceless directing group. The …

The new terminal phosphinidene complex [Cp2Zr PDmp (PMe3)](Dmp= 2, 6-Mes2C6H3;
1) was prepared in 81% yield by the reaction of [Li (Et2O)][P (H) Dmp] with [Cp2Zr (Me) Cl] in …

Highly chemoselective addition of Schwartz's reagent to widely available azlactones is
described. This method allows the preparation of challenged functionalized α-amino …

The reaction of dimers of phosphole oxides (3a–e) with an excess of dimethylsulfide borane
follows an unexpected route to give phosphine-boranes 5a–e based on the 7 …
