N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis has been recognized as a powerful synthetic
strategy for the construction of a wide variety of medicinally and biologically important …

An NHC-catalyzed atroposelective reaction between ynals and urazoles is disclosed. The
reaction establishes a chiral C–N axis via an atroposelective [3+ 2] annulation …

3-Substituted-3-aminooxindoles are versatile scaffolds and they are common core structural
motifs found in many natural products and biologically active compounds. In the last few …

The substituted benzene derivatives are essential to organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry,
and material science. However, the 1, 3-di-and 1, 3, 5-trisubstituted benzenes are far less …

Abstract N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐catalyzed enantioselective Mannich‐type reactions
of the biomass‐derived platform compound 5‐(chloromethyl) furfural (CMF) with imines were …

A palladium-catalyzed intermolecular [2+ 2+ 2] oxidative coupling–annulation of terminal
alkenes and alkynes using copper (II) as the oxidant has been developed through direct C …

Cyclization–aromatization of enamines is a powerful method for the establishment of aza-
aromatic cycles. We report herein the development of a simple and practical [3+ 3] aldol …

This chapter covers the literature published during 2020 relating to the synthesis of tertiary
phosphines. Although it has been necessary to continue to be selective in the choice of …

Investigations concerning the reactivity of the N‐heterocyclic silylene Dipp2NHSi (1, 1, 3‐bis
(2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐1, 3‐diaza‐2‐silacyclopent‐4‐en‐2‐ylidene) towards selected …

This chapter covers scientific contributions in quinquevalent organo-phosphorus chemistry
published in the literature in 2021. The review is not comprehensive but shows the most …
