Propargyl alcohols are widely used in organic reactions. Their great success is rooted in the
presence of multiple functional groups. This review will focus on six types of mechanisms:(i) …

Allenes are the simplest class of cumulenes, possessing unique physical and chemical
properties. These structural units are widely used as valuable synthetic intermediates in …

Catalytic functionalization of alkynes with organoboron reagents provides a straightforward
access to stereochemically defined multisubstituted alkenes, which are structural motifs …

Enabled by the newly developed ligand, Ming-Phos, the first example of palladium-
catalyzed highly enantioselective coupling of racemic propargylic benzoates with …

Classical 1, 4-dicarbofunctionalization of 1, 3-enynes employs organometallic reagents as
nucleophiles to initiate the reaction. We report a copper-catalyzed 1, 4-alkylarylation of 1, 3 …

Alcohols are abundant and attractive feedstock molecules for organic synthesis. Many
methods for their functionalization require them to first be converted into a more activated …

Stereoselectivity control and understanding in the metal-catalyzed reactions are
fundamental issues in catalysis. Here we report sterically controlled rhodium-catalyzed SN2' …

Comprehensive Summary A three‐component reaction of 1, 3‐enynes and cyclobutanone
oxime esters in the presence of aryl boronic acids or organozinc reagents via the …

2 (3 H)-Furanones are tremendously important not only because of their wide occurrence in
bioactive compounds but also due to their versatility in organic synthesis. Here, a …

We have developed a general and site‐predictable manganese‐catalyzed hydroarylation of
internal alkynes in the presence of water, under an air atmosphere without the involvement …
