Recent advances in the metal-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization of alkynes with carboxylic
acids are comprehensively reviewed. Both inter-and intramolecular processes, leading …

This is a review of papers published in the year 2015 that focus on the synthesis, reactivity,
or properties of compounds containing a carbon-transition metal double or triple bond …

The detailed mechanism of the intermolecular Pd-catalyzed carbonylative coupling reaction
between aryl bromides and polyfluoroarenes relying on C (sp2)–H activation was …

DFT calculations at the M06L‐D3 (SMD)/LANL2TZ (f)/6‐311+ G (d, p)//M06L/LANL2DZ/6‐
31G (d)* level were performed to explore the mechanism, solvent effect, and origin of …

The application of the highly efficient ruthenium catalyst [Ru (CO) 2 {P (p‐CF3–C6H4) 3} 2
(O2CPh) 2](1) in the selective syn‐addition of carboxylic acids to internal alkynes, yielding …

During the period covered by this chapter, reviews have appeared on the following topics:
chiral iminophosphoranes–an emerging class of superbase organocatalysts; 1 …

In this thesis, new copper-catalysed addition reactions to alkynes have been developed. The
new methodologies exploit hydro-functionalisation to transform readily available starting …

The ruthenium-catalyzed alkyne to carboxylic acid (or amide) coupling reactions is an
excellent methodology for the synthesis of enol-esters (or enamides)(refer Scheme 1). The …
