The main contributions in the field of first-row transition-metal-catalyzed (base-metal-
catalyzed) carbonylative transformations have been summarized and discussed. The …

The pool of abundant chiral terpene building blocks (ie,“chiral pool terpenes”) has long
served as a starting point for the chemical synthesis of complex natural products, including …

The asymmetric total syntheses of cephalotaxus C19 diterpenoids, bearing a unique
cycloheptene A ring with a chiral methyl group at C-12, were disclosed based on a universal …

The ability of platinum and gold catalysts to effect powerful atom‐economic transformations
has led to a marked increase in their utilization. The quite remarkable correlation of their …

Metal‐catalyzed cycloisomerization reactions of 1, n‐enynes have appeared as
conceptually and chemically highly attractive processes as they contribute to the highly …

Since synthetic strategies to highly functionalized polycyclic compounds have become
directed increasingly toward both efficiency and stereoselectivity, transition-metal-mediated …

In the past four decades, allenes have progressively risen from an unenviable status of
being a structural curiosity to becoming one of the most powerful and versatile synthetic …

Progress in organometallic catalysis began with the discovery of the Roelen reaction
(hydroformylation with carbon monoxide and hydrogen) in 1938 and the Reppe reaction …

The remarkable development in homogeneous enantioselective catalysis reflected by the
Nobel prizes in 2001 awarded to Sharpless, Noyori, and Knowles has further spurred the …

Platin‐und Goldkatalysatoren gewinnen aufgrund ihrer hohen Effizienz und erstaunlichen
